Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a severe side effect caused by antiresorptive antiangiogenic medication, particularly bisphosphonates (BPs), has become a challenging disease with serious and profound effects on the physical and mental health of patients. Although it occurs with high frequency and is harmful, the exact mechanism of MRONJ remains unknown, and systematic and targeted approaches are still lacking. Maxillofacial surgeons focus on the etiology of osteonecrosis in the mandible and maxilla as well as the appropriate oral interventions for high-risk patients. Adequate nursing care and pharmacotherapy management are also crucial. This review provides a current overview of the clinicopathologic feature and research of MRONJ caused by BPs, with an emphasis on the potential mechanisms and current therapy and prevention strategies of the disease. We are of the opinion that an in-depth comprehension of the mechanisms underlying MRONJ will facilitate the development of more precise and efficacious therapeutic approaches, resulting in enhanced clinical outcomes for patients.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1060158.

Abstract
Here we developed a spatio-temporal bone remodeling model to simulate the action of Basic Multicelluar Units (BMUs). This model is based on two major extensions of a temporal-only bone cell population model (BCPM). First, the differentiation into mature resorbing osteoclasts and mature forming osteoblasts from their respective precursor cells was modelled as an intermittent process based on precursor cells availability. Second, the interaction between neighbouring BMUs was considered based on a "metabolic cost" argument which warrants that no new BMU will be activated in the neighbourhood of an existing BMU. With the proposed model we have simulated the phases of the remodelling process obtaining average periods similar to those found in the literature: resorption ( ∼ 22 days)-reversal (∼8 days)-formation (∼65 days)-quiescence (560-600 days) and an average BMU activation frequency of ∼1.6 BMUs/year/mm3. We further show here that the resorption and formation phases of the BMU become coordinated only by the presence of TGF-β (transforming growth factor β), i.e., a major coupling factor stored in the bone matrix. TGF-β is released through resorption so upregulating osteoclast apoptosis and accumulation of osteoblast precursors, i.e., facilitating the transition from the resorption to the formation phase at a given remodelling site. Finally, we demonstrate that this model can explain targeted bone remodelling as the BMUs are steered towards damaged bone areas in order to commence bone matrix repair.

The potential anti-osteoporotic effect of exercise-induced increased preptin level in ovariectomized rats. Anat Sci Int 2023; 98:22-35. [PMID: 35507276 DOI: 10.1007/s12565-022-00666-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Osteoporosis increases bone fragility and fractures. Preptin hormone is regulated by moderate exercise training and increases bone formation. Therefore, this study was conducted to see how estradiol administration and moderate exercise training affected osteoporotic changes in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. To achieve this aim, 36 healthy adult female Wistar albino rats were randomized into Sham, OVX, ovariectomized estradiol-treated (OVX + E) (OVX + E rats were treated using subcutaneous estradiol benzoate 2.5 μg/kg body weight/day), ovariectomized practicing moderate exercise training, ovariectomized estradiol-treated and practiced a moderate exercise training, and ovariectomized alendronate-treated (OVX + Alen) (OVX + Alen rats were treated orally with alendronate 3 mg/kg body weight/week) groups. Alendronate was used as a standard anti-osteoporotic drug. Moderate exercise training, including therapy with estradiol and alendronate for OVX rats began on the fourth week and lasted for six weeks. Results showed that OVX rats had estrogen and preptin deficiency in serum. These deficiencies were associated with a significant increase in bone resorption biomarkers (urinary deoxypyridinoline and hydroxyproline), and bone formation biomarkers (serum osteocalcin and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase). Also, serum pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6) were increased, while bone osteopontin (OPN) expression was decreased. Subsequently, the osteoporotic alterations were verified based on histopathological changes. From the results, estradiol therapy and moderate exercise training significantly improved these findings to the same extent as that of the standard alendronate treatment. Therefore, through their anti-inflammatory properties, increasing bone OPN expression, and regulating serum preptin; estradiol therapy and moderate exercise training can reduce osteoporotic alterations in OVX rats. Thus, combined estradiol therapy and moderate exercise training could be a promising potential therapeutic protocol to reduce postmenopausal osteoporosis. Also, targeting serum preptin and bone osteopontin regulation could have a critical role in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Alendronate is the most widely used drug for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). It inhibits bone resorption, affecting osteoclasts. Pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of alendronate have been widely studied, but few mathematical models exist to simulate its effect. In this work, we have developed a PK model for alendronate, valid for short- and long-term treatments, and a mechanistic PK-PD model for the treatment of PMO to predict bone density gain (BDG) at the hip and lumbar spine. According to our results, at least three compartments are required in the PK model to predict the effect of alendronate in both the short and long terms. Clinical data of a 2-year treatment of alendronate, reproduced by our PK-PD model, demonstrate that bone response is site specific (hip: 7% BDG, lumbar spine: 4% BDG). We identified that this BDG is mainly due to an increase in tissue mineralization and a decrease in porosity. The difference in BDG between sites is linked to the different loading and dependence of the released alendronate on the bone-specific surface and porosity. Osteoclast population diminishes quickly within the first month of alendronate treatment. Osteoblast population lags behind but also falls due to coupling of resorption and formation. Two dosing regimens were studied (70 mg weekly and 10 mg daily), and both showed very similar BDG evolution, indicating that alendronate accumulates quickly in bone and saturates. The proposed PK-PD model could provide a valuable tool to analyze the effect of alendronate and to design patient-specific treatments, including drug combinations.

Assessment of Strategies for Safe Drug Discontinuation and Transition of Denosumab Treatment in PMO—Insights From a Mechanistic PK/PD Model of Bone Turnover. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:886579.

Abstract
Denosumab (Dmab) treatment against postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) has proven very efficient in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) and reducing the risk of bone fractures. However, concerns have been recently raised regarding safety when drug treatment is discontinued. Mechanistic pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models are the most sophisticated tools to develop patient specific drug treatments of PMO to restore bone mass. However, only a few PK-PD models have addressed the effect of Dmab drug holidays on changes in BMD. We showed that using a standard bone cell population model (BCPM) of bone remodelling it is not possible to account for the spike in osteoclast numbers observed after Dmab discontinuation. We show that inclusion of a variable osteoclast precursor pool in BCPMs is essential to predict the experimentally observed rapid rise in osteoclast numbers and the associated increases in bone resorption. This new model also showed that Dmab withdrawal leads to a rapid increase of damage in the bone matrix, which in turn decreases the local safety factor for fatigue failure. Our simulation results show that changes in BMD strongly depend on Dmab concentration in the central compartment. Consequently, bone weight (BW) might play an important factor in calculating effective Dmab doses. The currently clinically prescribed constant Dmab dose of 60 mg injected every 6 months is less effective in increasing BMD for patients with high BW (2.5% for 80 kg in contrast to 8% for 60 kg after 6 years of treatment). However, bone loss observed 24 months after Dmab withdrawal is less pronounced in patients with high BW (3.5% for 80kg and 8.5% for 60 kg). Finally, we studied how to safely discontinue Dmab treatment by exploring several transitional and combined drug treatment strategies. Our simulation results indicate that using transitional reduced Dmab doses are not effective in reducing rapid bone loss. However, we identify that use of a bisphosphonate (BP) is highly effective in avoiding rapid bone loss and increase in bone tissue damage compared to abrupt withdrawal of Dmab. Furthermore, the final values of BMD and damage were not sensitive to the time of administration of the BP.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of locally delivered 1% alendronate (ALN) gel used as an adjunct to non-invasive periodontal therapy. Methods Ligature-induced periodontitis was performed in 96 rats. The ligature was tied in the cervical area of the mandibular left first molar. The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: 1) NT, no treatment; 2) SRP, scaling and root planning; 3) SRP/PLA, SRP followed by filling the periodontal pocket with placebo gel (PLA); and 4) SRP/ALN, SRP followed by filling the periodontal pockets with 1% ALN gel. Histomorphometric (percentage of bone in the furcation region [PBF]) and immunohistochemical (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, osteoprotegerin, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) analyses were performed. Data were statistically analyzed, with the threshold of statistical significance set at P≤0.05. Results The SRP, SRP/PLA, and SRP/ALN groups presented a higher PBF than the NT group (P≤0.01) at 7, 15, and 30 days. The SRP/ALN group presented a higher PBF than the SRP/PLA group in all experimental periods, as well as a higher PBF than the SRP group at 15 and 30 days. No differences were observed in the immunohistochemical analyses (P>0.05 for all). Conclusions Locally delivered 1% ALN gel used as an adjunct to SRP enhanced bone regeneration in the furcation region in a rat model of experimental periodontitis.

Comparison of the Effect of Oral Versus Intravenous Bisphosphonate Administration on Osteoclastogenesis in Advanced-Stage Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Patients. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10132988.

Abstract
It is yet unknown whether the intravenous administration route alone can fully account for the exacerbation of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The purpose of this retrospective study was to identify the potential role of the bisphosphonate (BP) administration route as an independent prognostic factor for non-cancerous, stage III MRONJ patients. Bone samples were retrospectively obtained from two groups of osteoporosis patients who underwent surgery for the treatment of stage III MRONJ. Among the subjects, 10 had a history of only oral BP consumption and 10 of intravenous (IV) BP administration. The samples were assessed for osteoclast morphology and immunohistochemical expression of the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 4 (Kcnn4). Although the osteoclasts derived from both groups exhibited no significant differences in the mean quantity, diameter, and nuclearity, significantly attenuated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity was noted among the IV BP-induced MRONJ bones compared to those of the oral BP group. Significant suppression of the RANKL/OPG ratio and Kcnn4 expression among the retrieved bones of IV BP group patients was also noted. Our results indicate the potential of the BP administration route as an independent prognostic factor for advanced-stage MRONJ, regardless of the dosage or indication for which the BP was prescribed.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are compounds resembling the pyrophosphate structure. BPs bind the mineral component of bones. During the bone resorption by osteoclasts, nitrogen-containing BPs are released and internalized, causing an inhibition of the mevalonate pathway. As a consequence, osteoclasts are unable to execute their function. Alendronate (ALN) is a bisphosphonate used to treat osteoporosis. Its administration could be associated with adverse effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate four different ALN concentrations, ranging from 10−6 to 10−10 M, in the presence of different combinations of M-CSF and RANKL, to find out the effect of low ALN concentrations on osteoclastogenesis using rat and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The cytotoxic effect of ALN was evaluated based on metabolic activity and DNA concentration measurement. The alteration in osteoclastogenesis was assessed by the activity of carbonic anhydrase II (CA II), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, and actin ring formation. The ALN concentration of 10−6 M was cytotoxic. Low ALN concentrations of 10−8 and 10−10 M promoted proliferation, osteoclast-like cell formation, and CA II activity. The results indicated the induction of osteoclastogenesis with low ALN concentrations. However, when high doses of ALN were administered, their cytotoxic effect was demonstrated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of antiepileptic drugs and estrogen deficiency put forward higher requirements for bone defect regeneration. The present study investigated the effects of alendronate (ALN) on femoral bone defect in ovariectomized (OVX) rats under the influence of carbamazepine (CBZ). METHODS One hundred female SD rats at 3 months of age were either sham-operated or OVX and divided into four groups: sham control (CON); OVX control (OVX); ovariectomized rats treated with CBZ via gavage (75 mg/kg/day; CBZ); ovariectomized rats treated with CBZ plus ALN (2 mg/kg/day; CBZ-ALN). A critical-sized femoral metaphyseal bone defect was established in all female SD rats. Animals from the CBZ and CBZ-ALN groups received drugs by gavage the day after bone defect surgery was performed. After the rats were sacrificed, the defected area located in the distal femur was harvested for evaluation by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and Masson's trichrome staining. The samples were also analyzed by biomechanics and immunohistochemical evaluation (IHC). Besides, biochemical analysis evaluates all serum samples. RESULTS The present study showed that ovariectomy changed the microstructural parameters of bone. The use of CBZ further decreased femur bone mass while treatment with ALN prevented bone loss. Compared to OVX and CBZ groups, CBZ-ALN group promoted bone neoformation and enhanced the ultimate load of the femur bone. However, the group of CBZ-ALN did not return to normal levels compared with the CON group. Besides, we noticed that CBZ-ALN group reduced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (Tracp-5b) expression and had no significant effect on the expression of osteocalcin (OCN) and type I collagen (Col-I) in IHC compared with CBZ group. Biochemical analysis results presented that systemic delivery of CBZ showed pernicious effects on bone formation and resorption in ovariectomized rats, with the worse effects on C-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1). Besides, a significant decrease in CTX-1 levels was observed in CBZ-ALN group as compared to the group of CBZ. CONCLUSION These results demonstrated that ALN can effectively reverse the effects of CBZ on the microarchitectural properties of bone, and thus can have a positive effect on local bone neoformation in rats with osteoporosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The dose of 2 mg/kg ALN improves the negative effect of prescription of CBZ at 75 mg/kg and promotes bone neoformation of femoral bony deficits.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BP) are a class of calcium-binding drug used to prevent bone resorption in skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis and metastatic bone disease. They act by selectively targeting bone-resorbing osteoclasts and can be grouped into two classes depending on their intracellular mechanisms of action. Simple BPs cause osteoclast apoptosis after cytoplasmic conversion into toxic ATP analogues. In contrast, nitrogen-containing BPs potently inhibit FPP synthase, an enzyme of the mevalonate (cholesterol biosynthesis) pathway. This results in production of a toxic metabolite (ApppI) and the loss of long-chain isoprenoid lipids required for protein prenylation, a process necessary for the function of small GTPase proteins essential for the survival and activity of osteoclasts. In this review we provide a state-of-the-art overview of these mechanisms of action and a historical perspective of how they were discovered. Finally, we challenge the long-held dogma that BPs act only in the skeleton and highlight recent studies that reveal insights into hitherto unknown effects on tumour-associated and tissue-resident macrophages.

Poly(Aspartic Acid) Functionalized Poly(ϵ-Caprolactone) Microspheres with Enhanced Hydroxyapatite Affinity as Bone Targeting Antibiotic Carriers. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12090885. [PMID: 32957602 PMCID: PMC7559286 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12090885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone infection is a feared complication for patients with surgically fixed bone fractures and local antibiotic delivery is important in prophylaxis and treatment of these infections. Recent studies indicated that Staphylococcus aureus can penetrate bone tissue through micron-sized canaliculi and evade systemic and currently available local antibiotic treatments. Targeting bacteria within the bone requires highly efficient delivery of antimicrobials to the infected bone tissue. In this work, a biodegradable microsphere carrier loaded with antibiotics and with specific affinity to bone mineral was developed. Two widely used antibiotics, i.e., Gentamicin-dioctyl sulfosuccinate (GM-AOT) and Ciprofloxacin (CF) were embedded in poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) microspheres fabricated by oil-in-water emulsion techniques with carboxylated poly(vinyl alcohol) (cPVA) as surfactant. The carboxylic acid groups present at the Poly(ϵ-caprolactone)/cPVA (PCL-cPVA) microsphere surface were functionalized with aspartic acid oligomers (ASP) granting bone targeting properties. We report on cPVA synthesis, microsphere formulation, and antibiotic loading of PCL/cPVA-ASP microspheres. Antibiotic loaded PCL/cPVA-ASP microspheres show sustained release of its antibiotic load and can inhibit bacterial growth in vitro for up to 6 days. PCL/cPVA-ASP microspheres show enhanced affinity to mineralized substrates compared to non-functionalized PCL/cPVA microspheres. These findings support further development of these bone targeting antibiotic carriers for potential treatment of persistent bone infections.

Abstract
In this third in a series of reviews on adjuvant drug-assisted bone healing, further approaches aiming at influencing the healing process are discussed. Local and systemic modulation of bone metabolism is pursued with use of a number of drugs with completely different indications, which are characterized by a pleiotropic spectrum of action. These include drugs used to treat lipid disorders (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors), hypertension (ACE inhibitors), osteoporosis (bisphosphonates), cancer (proteasome inhibitors) and others. Potential applications to enhance bone healing are discussed.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mainly affects various joints of the body, including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and it involves an infiltration of autoantibodies and inflammatory leukocytes into articular tissues and the synovium. Initially, the synovial lining tissue becomes engaged with several kinds of infiltrating cells, including osteoclasts, macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Eventually, bone degradation occurs. In order to elucidate the best therapy for RA, a comprehensive study of RA pathogenesis needs to be completed. In this article, we discuss a Fas-deficient condition which develops into RA, with an emphasis on the role of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor 1 signaling which induces the migration of osteoclast precursor cells. We describe that Fas/S1P1 signaling via NF-κB activation in osteoclasts is a key factor in TMJ-RA severity and we discuss a strategy for blocking nuclear translocation of the p50 NF-κB subunit as a potential therapy for attenuating osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) inhibit bone resorption by preventing osteoclast activity. Most clinically used BPs are hydroxybisphosphonates with the exception of incadronate, which belongs to the class of aminomethylidenebisphosphonic acids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of two previously reported aminobisphosphonates (WG8185B2 and WG9001B) in combination with doxorubicin and cisplatin toward J774E cells (a model of osteoclast precursors in vitro). WG8185B2 and WG9001B BPs enhanced the cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin and cisplatin, especially when applied 24 hr prior to cytostatics. The antiproliferative effect of studied BPs was related to the changes in cell cycle progression. WG8185B2 leads to significant accumulation of J774E cells in S phase, whereas WG9001B causes transient arrest in G2 /M phase, followed by an increase in the percentage of cells in S phase. Moreover, WG8185B2 and WG9001B BPs showed enhanced proapoptotic activity in osteoclast precursors, which was manifested by an increase in caspase-3 activity and percentage of apoptotic cells. In addition, both compounds influenced the motility of J774E cells. The exact molecular mechanism of action of examined BPs remains to be determined; however, results show an interesting biological activity of these compounds, which may be of interest in the context of antiresorptive therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of alendronate (ALN) on bone remodeling following tooth extraction in a dog model. MATERIAL AND METHODS For the study, fifteen male Beagles dogs of approximately 12 months of age were used. Mesial roots of four mandibular premolars were endodontically treated, and the distal roots were removed. ALN concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/mL were topically applied for 15 min, while a sterile saline was used as a negative control. After the healing period of 1, 2, and 8 weeks, the samples were analyzed by micro-CT and histology. RESULTS Treatment with ALN increased vertical distance between the lingual and the buccal crestal bones. While the ALN-treated sockets had preserved more lingual bone areas, control sockets showed better preservation of the buccal bone areas. ALN treatment resulted in more osteoid formation within the extraction sockets compared with the control. Higher bone volume was found in ALN groups than in the control at 2-week and 8-week healing periods, reaching the significant difference only for the extraction sockets pooled for the ALN treatment. CONCLUSIONS Although ALN treatment could not prevent buccal bone resorption following tooth extraction in dogs, it proved beneficial for the preservation of the lingual bone and formation of new bone within the socket. There was no clear relation between the ALN dosages and the alterations within the extraction sockets. CLINICAL RELEVANCE ALN affects bone remodeling of the extraction socket. The optimal concentration remains to be determined in future studies.

Abstract
Dynamins are essential as membrane remodelers in various cellular processes, like receptor-mediated endocytosis, synaptic vesicle recycling and spermatogenesis. Moreover, dynamin is involved in the internalization of numerous viruses and in the motility of several cancer cell lines. As tools for dissecting the underlying mechanisms of these important biological processes and as potential future therapeutics, small molecules have been developed in the last two decades that modulate the functions of dynamin. In this review we give an overview of the compound classes that are currently in use and describe how they affect dynamin function.

Abstract
Minodronic acid is an aminobisphosphonate that is an antagonist of purinergic P2X2/3 receptors involved in pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the action and distribution of minodronic acid and the potential for P2X2/3 receptor antagonism based on the estimated concentration of minodronic acid. Microlocalization of radiolabeled minodronic acid was examined in the femur of neonatal rats. The bone-binding characteristics of minodronic acid and morphological changes in osteoclasts were analyzed in vitro. The minodronic acid concentration around bone resorption lacunae was predicted based on bone binding and the shape of lacunae. In microautoradiography, radioactive silver grains were abundant in bone-attached osteoclasts and were detected in calcified and ossification zones and in the cytoplasm of osteoclasts but not in the hypertrophic cartilage zone. In an osteoclast culture with 1 µM minodronic acid, 65% of minodronic acid was bound to bone, and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide release was inhibited by 96%. Cultured osteoclasts without minodronic acid treatment formed ruffled borders and bone resorption lacunae and had rich cytoplasm, whereas those treated with 1 µM minodronic acid were not multinucleated, stained densely with toluidine blue, and were detached from the bone surface. In the 1 µM culture, the estimated minodronic acid concentration in resorption lacunae was 880 µM, which is higher than the IC50 for minodronic acid antagonism of P2X2/3 receptors. Thus, inhibition of P2X2/3 receptors around osteoclasts may contribute to the analgesic effect of minodronic acid.

Abstract
The precise pathoetiology and effective treatment strategies for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) remain unknown. Transplantation of noncultured stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells has been shown to be a useful method for regenerative medicine in place of stem cell therapy. This study investigated the effects of noncultured SVF transplantation on tooth extraction socket healing in mice. Both chemotherapeutic/bisphosphonate combination therapy for 7 weeks and tooth extraction of maxillary first molars at 3 weeks after drug administration were performed using female C57BL/6J mice. Osseous and soft tissue wound healing were validated at 4 weeks postextraction using gross wound healing and histomorphometry. Here, we created a new animal model of high-prevalence ONJ-like lesions that mimic human progression, because human ONJ mainly occurs in female patients taking both chemotherapeutic and bisphosphonate following tooth extraction. Moreover, mice with chemotherapeutic and bisphosphonate combination therapy for 5 weeks received SVF transplantation just after tooth extraction at 3 weeks post-drug administration. Euthanasia was performed at 2 weeks postextraction to assess the transplantation effects on wound healing using gross wound healing, histomorphometry, immunohistomorphometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and microcomputed tomography. We showed that systemic transplantation of noncultured SVF cells ameliorates ONJ-like lesions by improving both osseous and soft tissue healing of tooth extraction sockets. SVF therapy significantly increased blood vessels and the ratio of M2/M1 macrophages. In addition, SVF transplantation reduced the increases in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive (TRAP+ ) mononuclear cells (MNCs) and nonattached osteoclasts from the bone surface, which were significantly detected in the connective tissue of tooth extraction sockets and bone marrow by chemotherapeutic/bisphosphonate combination therapy. Our findings suggest that transplantation of noncultured SVF cells is a suitable treatment for BRONJ. Abnormal TRAP+ MNCs and nonattached osteoclasts in systemic and local environments may contribute to the development of BRONJ. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are being increasingly used to treat pediatric patients with skeletal disorders. However, the effects of long-term bisphosphonate therapy and cessation of therapy during growth are unclear. Thus, studies were undertaken to determine the effects of alendronate discontinuation after treatment of C57Bl/6 mice during the period of rapid skeletal growth. Compared with vehicle-treated mice, 16 weeks of alendronate treatment starting at age 18 days resulted in a 3.7-fold increase in trabecular bone in the setting of suppressed bone formation. Alendronate therapy for 8 weeks followed by 8 weeks of vehicle treatment resulted in a more pronounced increase in trabecular bone compared with mice treated with alendronate for 16 weeks (1.7-fold) and to vehicle-treated controls (6.5-fold). Mice that received alendronate for 8 weeks followed by 8 weeks of vehicle exhibited increased osteoblast surface (2.5-fold), mineralizing surface (5.7-fold), and bone formation rate (5.1-fold) compared with mice treated continuously with alendronate. However, these parameters were not restored to the levels observed in the vehicle-treated mice. Thus, partial resumption of bone formation upon cessation of bisphosphonate therapy leads to a greater increase in trabecular bone than that found when bisphosphonates are administered continuously to growing mice. These data suggest that intermittent administration of bisphosphonates may optimize their beneficial effects on the growing skeleton. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
CONTEXT Type VIII osteogenesis imperfecta (OI; OMIM 601915) is a recessive form of lethal or severe OI caused by null mutations in P3H1, which encodes prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1. OBJECTIVES Clinical and bone material description of non-lethal type VIII OI. DESIGN Natural history study of type VIII OI. SETTING Pediatric academic research centers. PATIENTS Five patients with non-lethal type VIII OI, and one patient with lethal type VIII OI. INTERVENTIONS None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical examinations included bone mineral density, radiographs, and serum and urinary metabolites. Bone biopsy samples were analyzed for histomorphometry and bone mineral density distribution by quantitative backscattered electron imaging microscopy. Collagen biochemistry was examined by mass spectrometry, and collagen fibrils were examined by transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS Type VIII OI patients have extreme growth deficiency, an L1-L4 areal bone mineral density Z-score of -5 to -6, and normal bone formation markers. Collagen from bone and skin tissue and cultured osteoblasts and fibroblasts have nearly absent 3-hydroxylation (1-4%). Collagen fibrils showed abnormal diameters and irregular borders. Bone histomorphometry revealed decreased cortical width and very thin trabeculae with patches of increased osteoid, although the overall osteoid surface was normal. Quantitative backscattered electron imaging showed increased matrix mineralization of cortical and trabecular bone, typical of other OI types. However, the proportion of bone with low mineralization was increased in type VIII OI bone, compared to type VII OI. CONCLUSIONS P3H1 is the unique enzyme responsible for collagen 3-hydroxylation in skin and bone. Bone from non-lethal type VIII OI children is similar to type VII, especially bone matrix hypermineralization, but it has distinctive features including extremely thin trabeculae, focal osteoid accumulation, and an increased proportion of low mineralized bone.

Osteocyte Apoptosis Caused by Hindlimb Unloading is Required to Trigger Osteocyte RANKL Production and Subsequent Resorption of Cortical and Trabecular Bone in Mice Femurs. J Bone Miner Res 2016; 31:1356-65.

Abstract
Osteocyte apoptosis is essential to activate bone remodeling in response to fatigue microdamage and estrogen withdrawal, such that apoptosis inhibition in vivo prevents the onset of osteoclastic resorption. Osteocyte apoptosis has also been spatially linked to bone resorption owing to disuse, but whether apoptosis plays a similar controlling role is unclear. We, therefore, 1) evaluated the spatial and temporal effects of disuse from hindlimb unloading (HLU) on osteocyte apoptosis, receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) expression, bone resorption, and loss in mouse femora, and 2) tested whether osteocyte apoptosis was required to activate osteoclastic activity in cortical and trabecular bone by treating animals subjected to HLU with the pan-caspase apoptosis inhibitor, QVD (quinolyl-valyl-O-methylaspartyl-[-2,6-difluorophenoxy]-methylketone). Immunohistochemistry was used to identify apoptotic and RANKL-producing osteocytes in femoral diaphysis and distal trabecular bone, and µCT was used to determine the extent of trabecular bone loss owing to HLU. In both cortical and trabecular bone, 5 days of HLU increased osteocyte apoptosis significantly (3- and 4-fold, respectively, p < 0.05 versus Ctrl). At day 14, the apoptotic osteocyte number in femoral cortices declined to near control levels but remained elevated in trabeculae (3-fold versus Ctrl, p < 0.05). The number of osteocytes producing RANKL in both bone compartments was also significantly increased at day 5 of HLU (>1.5-fold versus Ctrl, p < 0.05) and further increased by day 14. Increases in osteocyte apoptosis and RANKL production preceded increases in bone resorption at both endocortical and trabecular surfaces. QVD completely inhibited not only the HLU-triggered increases in osteocyte apoptosis but also RANKL production and activation of bone resorption at both sites. Finally, µCT studies revealed that apoptosis inhibition completely prevented the trabecular bone loss caused by HLU. Together these data indicate that osteocyte apoptosis plays a central and controlling role in triggering osteocyte RANKL production and the activation of new resorption leading to bone loss in disuse. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
In rodents, lactation is associated with a considerable and very rapid bone loss, which almost completely recovers after weaning. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the bisphosphonate Zoledronate (Zln) can inhibit lactation induced bone loss, and if Zln interferes with recovery of bone mass after lactation has ceased. Seventy-six 10-weeks-old NMRI mice were divided into the following groups: Baseline, Pregnant, Lactation, Lactation+Zln, Recovery, Recovery+Zln, and Virgin Control (age-matched). The lactation period was 12days, then the pups were removed, and thereafter recovery took place for 28days. Zln, 100μg/kg, was given s.c. on the day of delivery, and again 4 and 8days later. Mechanical testing, μCT, and dynamic histomorphometry were performed. At L4, lactation resulted in a substantial loss of bone strength (-55% vs. Pregnant, p<0.01), BV/TV (-40% vs. Pregnant, p<0.01), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (-29% vs. Pregnant, p<0.001). Treatment with Zln completely prevented lactation induced loss of bone strength, BV/TV, and Tb.Th at L4. Full recovery of micro-architectural and mechanical properties was found 28days after weaning in vehicle-treated mice. Interestingly, the recovery group treated with Zln during the lactation period had higher BV/TV (+45%, p<0.01) and Tb.Th (+16%, p<0.05) compared with virgin controls. Similar results were found at the proximal tibia and femur. This indicates that Zln did not interfere with the bone formation taking place after weaning. On this background, we conclude that post-lactation bone formation is not dependent on a preceding lactation induced bone loss.

Abstract
In order to determine whether osteoclastic bone resorption is restarted after withdrawn of bisphosphonates, we conducted histological examinations on murine osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes after discontinuation of a daily regimen of alendronate (ALN) with a dosage of 1 mg/kg/day for 10 days. After drug discontinuation, metaphyseal trabecular number and bone volume remained unaltered for the first 4 days. Osteoclast number did not increase, while the number of apoptotic osteoclasts was elevated. On the other hand, tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase-immunoreactive area was markedly reduced after ALN discontinuation. In addition, osteocytes showed an atrophic profile with empty lacunar areas during and after ALN treatment. Interestingly, as early as 36 h after a single ALN injection, osteocytes show signs of atrophy despite the presence of active osteoblasts. Structured illumination microscopy system showed shortening of osteocytic cytoplasmic processes after drug cessation, suggesting a possible morphological and functional disconnection between osteocytes and osteoblasts. Taken together, it appears that osteoclastic bone resorption is not resumed after ALN discontinuation; also, osteoblasts and osteocytes hardly seem to recover once they are inactivated and atrophied by ALN. In summary, it seems that one must pay more attention to the responses of osteoblasts and osteocytes, rather focusing on the resuming of osteoclastic bone resorption after the ALN discontinuation.

Abstract
Osteoblastic cells indirectly induce osteoclastogenesis in the bone microenvironment by expressing paracrine factors such as RANKL and M-CSF, leading to increased bone resorption. These cytokines can be regulated by a variety of intracellular pathways, which include G protein-coupled receptor signaling. To explore how enhanced signaling of the Gαq/11 pathway in osteoblast lineage cells may mediate osteoclast formation, we cocultured wild-type (WT) preosteoclasts with BMSCs derived from either WT or transgenic mice with osteoblast-specific overexpression of Gα11 (G11-Tg). G11-Tg cocultures had elevated osteoclast numbers with greater resorptive capacity and increased expression of Rankl, Rankl:Opg (osteoprotegerin), and M-csf compared with cocultures with WT BMSCs. As well, cocultures with G11-Tg BMSCs required a higher concentration of OPG to inhibit osteoclast formation and less angiotensin II to increase osteoclast size. These indicate that G11-Tg osteoblasts drive the increased osteoclast formation and osteopenia seen in G11-Tg mice. Pamidronate treatment of G11-Tg mice restored the trabecular bone loss phenotype, as bone mineral density, bone volume, trabecular number, separation, and expressions of osteoblastic and osteoclastic genes were comparable with WT parameters. These changes were characterized by enhanced accumulation of calcified cartilage in trabecular bone, demonstrating that resorption of the cartilaginous intermediate by osteoclasts is more affected by bisphosphonate treatment in G11-Tg mice. In conclusion, overexpression of Gα11 in osteoblastic cells promotes osteoclastogenesis by upregulation of Rankl and M-csf and bone loss by increased osteoclast resorption of the trabecular bone and cartilaginous matrix.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle weakness. To prolong independent ambulation, DMD patients are treated with glucocorticoids, which, in turn, can increase bone fragility. In a cohort with vertebral fractures, intravenous bisphosphonate (iv BP) therapy stabilized vertebrae and reduced back pain. To characterize the effects of glucocorticoid therapy and bisphosphonate treatment on bone tissue and material properties, paired transiliac biopsy samples (before and after on average 2.4 years of iv BP) from 9 boys with DMD were studied for histomorphometry and bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD) and compared to reference values. Before iv BP, the boys had low cancellous bone volume (BV/TV) and cortical thickness (Ct.Wi) (both on average 56% of the healthy average, p < 0.001 versus reference), and mineralizing surface (MS/BS) in the lower normal range (on average 74% of the healthy average). The average degree of mineralization of cancellous (Cn.CaMean) and cortical compartments (Ct.CaMean) was 21.48 (20.70, 21.90) wt% and 20.42 (19.32, 21.64) wt%, respectively (median [25th, 75th percentiles]), which was not different from reference. After iv BP, BV/TV and Ct.Wi were, on average, unchanged. However, at the individual patient level, BV/TV Z-scores increased in 2, remained unchanged in 4, and declined in 3 patients. Additionally, on average, MS/BS decreased (-85%, p < 0.001), Cn.CaMean (+2.7%) increased, whereas the heterogeneity of cancellous (Cn.CaWidth -19%) and cortical bone mineralization (Ct.CaWidth -8%, all p < 0.05) decreased versus baseline. The changes in bone mineralization are consistent with the antiresorptive action of iv BP. At the same time, our observations point to the need for novel therapies with less or absent bone turnover suppression, including the fact that bone turnover was low even before bisphosphonate therapy, that bone turnover declined further (as expected) with treatment, and that declines in trabecular bone volume were observed in some boys despite bisphosphonate therapy. © 2015 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPPS) gene polymorphisms and bone response to alendronate in Chinese osteoporotic women.Methods A total of 639 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia were included and randomly received treatment of low dose (70 mg per two weeks) or standard dose (70 mg weekly) of alendronate for one year. The six tag single nucleotide polymorphisms of GGPPS gene were identified. Bone mineral density (BMD), serum cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX), and total alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured before and after treatment. GGPPS gene polymorphisms and the changes of BMD and bone turnover markers after treatment were analyzed.Results rs10925503 polymorphism of GGPPS gene was correlated to serum β-CTX levels at baseline, and patients with TT genotype had significantly higher serum β-CTX level than those with TC or CC genotype (all P<0.05). No correlation was found between polymorphisms of GGPPS gene and serum total ALP levels, as well as BMD at baseline. After 12 months of treatment, lumbar spine and hip BMD increased and serum bone turnover markers decreased significantly (P<0.01), and without obvious differences between the low dose and standard dose groups (all P>0.05). However, GGPPS gene polymorphisms were uncorrelated to percentage changes of BMD, serum total ALP, and β-CTX levels (all P>0.05).Conclusion GGPPS gene polymorphisms are correlated to osteoclasts activity, but all tag single nucleotide polymorphisms of GGPPS gene have no influence on the skeletal response to alendronate treatment.

Abstract
Current treatments for postmenopausal osteoporosis aim to either promote bone formation or inhibit bone resorption. The C1 conjugate drug represents a new treatment approach by chemically linking the antiresorptive compound alendronate (ALN) with the anabolic agent prostanoid EP4 receptor agonist (EP4a) through a linker molecule (LK) to form a conjugate compound. This enables the bone-targeting ability of ALN to deliver EP4a to bone sites and mitigate the systemic side effects of EP4a, while also facilitating dual antiresorptive and anabolic effects. In vivo hydrolysis is required to release the EP4a and ALN components for pharmacological activity. Our study investigated the in vivo efficacy of this drug in treating established bone loss using an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model of postmenopausal osteopenia. In a curative experiment, 3-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were OVX, allowed to lose bone for 7 weeks, then treated for 6 weeks. Treatment groups consisted of C1 conjugate at low and high doses, vehicle-treated OVX and sham, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ), and mixture of unconjugated ALN-LK and EP4a to assess the effect of conjugation. Results showed that weekly administration of C1 conjugate dose-dependently increased bone volume in trabecular bone, which partially or completely reversed OVX-induced bone loss in the lumbar vertebra and improved vertebral mechanical strength. The conjugate also dose-dependently stimulated endocortical woven bone formation and intracortical resorption in cortical bone, with high-dose treatment increasing the mechanical strength but compromising the material properties. Conjugation between the EP4a and ALN-LK components was crucial to the drug's anabolic efficacy. To our knowledge, the C1 conjugate represents the first time that a combined therapy using an anabolic agent and the antiresorptive compound ALN has shown significant anabolic effects which reversed established osteopenia.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a chronic disease wherein increased bone remodeling reduces bone mass and bone strength. Antiresorptive agents including bisphosphonates are commonly used to mitigate bone loss and fracture risk. Osteoclast inhibition via denosumab (DMAb), a RANKL inhibitor, is a newer approach for reducing fracture risk in patients at increased risk for fracture. The safety of transitioning from bisphosphonate therapy (alendronate; ALN) to DMAb was examined in mature ovariectomized (OVX) cynomolgus monkeys (cynos). One day after OVX, cynos (7-10/group) were treated with vehicle (VEH, s.c.), ALN (50 μg/kg, i.v., twice monthly) or DMAb (25 mg/kg/month, s.c.) for 12 months. Other animals received VEH or ALN for 6 months and then transitioned to 6 months of DMAb. DMAb caused significantly greater reductions in serum CTx than ALN, and transition from ALN to DMAb caused further reductions relative to continued ALN. DMAb and ALN decreased serum calcium (Ca), and transition from ALN to DMAb resulted in a lesser decline in Ca relative to DMAb or to VEH-DMAb transition. Bone histomorphometry indicated significantly reduced trabecular and cortical remodeling with DMAb or ALN. Compared with ALN, DMAb caused greater reductions in osteoclast surface, eroded surface, cortical porosity and fluorochrome labeling, and transition from ALN to DMAb reduced these parameters relative to continued ALN. Bone mineral density increased in all active treatment groups relative to VEH controls. Destructive biomechanical testing revealed significantly greater vertebral strength in all three groups receiving DMAb, including those receiving DMAb after ALN, relative to VEH controls. Bone mass and strength remained highly correlated in all groups at all tested skeletal sites, consistent with normal bone quality. These data indicate that cynos transitioned from ALN to DMAb exhibited reduced bone resorption and cortical porosity, and increased BMD and bone strength, without deleterious effects on Ca homeostasis or bone quality.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are a synthetic class of pyrophosphate analogues that are powerful inhibitors of bone resorption which are commonly used as a medication for the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis and osteopenia, also used to treat tumor diseases. As it affects bone metabolism, it is said to have an influence on orthodontic treatment and tooth movement. Also, this review gives an insight into the reported effects of Bisphosphonate medication in literature highlighting the status quo of scientific research regarding effects of Bisphosphonates on orthodontic tooth movement. A systematic literature search was done in Medline database (Pubmed) for the appropriate keywords. Manual handsearch was also done. From the available evidence it can be concluded that the duration of orthodontic treatment is increased for patients under Bisphosphonate therapy as they interfere with the osteoclastic resorption. However, they may be beneficial for anchorage procedures. Further long term prospective randomized controlled trials are required to assess possible benefits and adverse effects of bisphosphonate treatment, before Bisphosphonates can be therapeutically used in orthodontics.

Abstract
An increase of serum creatine kinase (CK) has been observed in clinical studies of nitrogen-containing aminobisphosphonates (N-BPs). Osteoclasts are thought to be the source of the CK, but there is no clear evidence for the hypothesis. In this study, CK release from rabbit osteoclasts induced by N-BPs was examined in an in vitro culture system. Rabbit bone-derived cells were cultured for 3 days on the N-BPs pretreated cortical bone slices. CK activity in the culture medium was measured at 3 days of culture. The CK activity was increased with all N-BPs at concentrations at which showed antiresorptive activity over 60% inhibition of C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) release. The maximum induction of CK activity was 2.6 times the control level. The lowest N-BP concentration inducing CK release was 3 times lower than that required to decrease the osteoclast number. Bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of vacuolar H+-ATPase, abrogated all N-BP actions, including CK release. Bone-derived cells except osteoclasts were insensitive to bafilomycin A1, suggesting that osteoclasts were the source of CK. Regarding the time course, CK release occurred after a 1 day lag time and increased steadily until day 3 of culture. These results show that CK release is induced by N-BPs from osteoclasts at concentrations at which N-BPs show antiresorptive activity over 60% inhibition of CTX-1 release in vitro. These findings explain the mechanism of the CK increase induced by clinical use of N-BPs.

Abstract
Although for many decades bisphosphonates were used for adult bone loss, bisphosphonate administration in pediatric patients is new and was initiated in the past 15-year. The indications for pediatric bisphosphonates was extended to childhood malignancies with bone involvement, after additional effects were unveiled for bisphosphonates with recent research. In this article we review childhood bone loss and conditions with bone involvement in which bisphosphonate therapy have been used. We also review mechanisms of action of bisphosphonates, and present indications of bisphosphonate therapy in pediatric patients based on results of clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates have been widely used for treatment of high bone resorption states. It lowers bone turnover by inhibiting osteoclasts bone resorption with various mechanisms of actions: inhibition of osteoclast formation and attachment to the bone surface, induction of metabolic injury, alteration of vesicle trafficking and induction of osteoclast apoptosis. Bone biopsies studies from patients under bisphosphonates have shown that some resorption parameters are decreased as expected but the number of osteoclasts seems not to be necessarily decreased. The description of osteoclasts morphology from patients treated with bisphosphonates has rarely been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We describe in this paper two patients treated with bisphosphonates from whom iliac crest bone biopsies have shown large, multinucleated and apoptotic osteoclasts that were not associated with bone resorption activities. The characteristics of these osteoclasts are described and the literature reviewed. CONCLUSION The appropriate recognition of these giant osteoclasts in bone tissues from patients treated with bisphosphonates is of primary importance for bone pathologists and should not be interpreted as signs of increased bone resorption as seen in hyperparathyroidism, bone cancer or Paget's disease of bone.

Abstract
Muscle forces are necessary for the development and maintenance of a mineralized skeleton. Removal of loads leads to malformed bones and impaired musculoskeletal function due to changes in bone (re)modeling. In the current study, the development of a mineralized junction at the interface between muscle and bone was examined under normal and impaired loading conditions. Unilateral mouse rotator cuff muscles were paralyzed using botulinum toxin A at birth. Control groups consisted of contralateral shoulders injected with saline and a separate group of normal mice. It was hypothesized that muscle unloading would suppress bone formation and enhance bone resorption at the enthesis, and that the unloading-induced bony defects could be rescued by suppressing osteoclast activity. In order to modulate osteoclast activity, mice were injected with the bisphosphonate alendronate. Bone formation was measured at the tendon enthesis using alizarin and calcein fluorescent labeling of bone surfaces followed by quantitative histomorphometry of histologic sections. Bone volume and architecture was measured using micro computed tomography. Osteoclast surface was determined via quantitative histomorphometry of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase stained histologic sections. Muscle unloading resulted in delayed initiation of endochondral ossification at the enthesis, but did not impair bone formation rate. Unloading led to severe defects in bone volume and trabecular bone architecture. These defects were partially rescued by suppression of osteoclast activity through alendronate treatment, and the effect of alendronate was dose dependent. Similarly, bone formation rate was increased with increasing alendronate dose across loading groups. The bony defects caused by unloading were therefore likely due to maintained high osteoclast activity, which normally decreases from neonatal through mature timepoints. These results have important implications for the treatment of muscle unloading conditions such as neonatal brachial plexus palsy, which results in shoulder paralysis at birth and subsequent defects in the rotator cuff enthesis and humeral head.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are bone-avid compounds used as first-line medications for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. They are also used in other skeletal pathologies such as Paget's and metastatic bone disease. They effectively reduce osteoclast viability and also activity in the resorptive phase of bone remodelling and help preserve bone micro-architecture, both major determinants of bone strength and ultimately of the susceptibility to fractures. The chemically distinctive structure of each BP used in the clinic determines their unique affinity, distribution/penetration throughout the bone and their individual effects on bone geometry, micro-architecture and composition or what we call 'bone quality'. BPs have no clinically significant anabolic effects. This review will touch upon some of the components of bone quality that could be affected by the administration of BPs.

Abstract
During the last years, numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between vascular calcification and low bone mineral density. This observation is in line with experimental data demonstrating the osteogenic characteristics of calcified arteries. Various common risk factors have been suggested to link vascular calcification and bone loss, including aging, estrogen deficiency, vitamin D and K deficiency, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, smoking, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Although the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are not yet clear, current research is focusing on anti-osteoporotic agents that could potentially affect the deposition of calcium in the arterial wall and thus provide an additional therapeutic strategy in elderly osteoporotic women prone to calcific cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of alendronate (ALN) on critical cell factors in osteoclasts. RAW 264.7 cells were induced by sRANKL to change to mature osteoclasts. On the sixth day of incubation, the osteoclasts were treated with ALN at various concentrations and for different incubation times. The concentration groups included 10-5 M, 10-6 M and 10-7 M ALN, respectively. The cells were incubated for 0 (control group), 2, 4, 6 and 8 h for each dose group. The mRNA and protein expression of tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase, carbonic anhydrase II, osteoclast‑associated receptor and FAS/FASL genes in osteoclasts was analyzed. A concentration- and time‑dependent decrease in the mRNA and protein expression levels of the five genes was observed, and no significant difference between the two control groups was observed (P>0.05). Notably, significant differences between any two experimental groups were observed (P<0.05). Thus, ALN significantly decreased the expression of critical factors involved in osteoclast function.

Abstract
The effects of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) on osteoclasts (Ocs) may differ with dose and regimen. N-BPs reduce Oc bone resorption by inhibiting the enzyme farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS), an effect counteracted by geranylgeraniol (GGOH), which restores geranylgeranylation downstream of FPPS. We assessed GGOH effects on inhibition of bone resorption by the N-BPs alendronate (ALN), ibandronate (IBN), and zoledronate (ZOL) in an assay of rabbit Oc resorption of bovine cortical bone. GGOH blocked inhibition of resorption at low, but not high, N-BP concentrations, with a 14- to 20-fold increase in IC50 values for each N-BP. In vivo, growing male rats were administered doses calculated to mimic bioavailable exposures in daily (ALN, IBN), weekly (ALN), monthly (IBN), and yearly (ZOL) clinical regimens. Tibiae were harvested at 48 h, and metaphyses were analyzed. With lower ALN and IBN doses, Oc numbers rose by 26-48 %, morphology was normal, and there was no increase in apoptotic Ocs. In contrast, with higher IBN and ZOL doses, bone-associated Ocs were generally rounded in appearance and numbers of nuclei/Oc versus vehicle increased 42 and 31 %, respectively (P < 0.05). With ZOL, there was no rise in Oc number, but there was a 6.5-fold increase in apoptotic Ocs versus vehicle and a ≥13.5-fold increase versus lower-dose ALN or IBN (P < 0.05). With higher-dose IBN there was no rise in Oc number but 7- and 14-fold increases in Oc apoptosis versus low-dose ALN and IBN (P < 0.02). These results suggest that different mechanisms may come into play across the dosing spectrum of N-BPs.

Abstract
The bone anabolic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) therapy is blunted when used in patients who were previously on bisphosphonate treatment. Osteocytes may play a role in the bisphosphonate silencing effect on PTH therapy since bisphosphonates have been shown to reach the lacunocanalicular system. In vivo osteocyte studies pose a significant challenge. For the current study, we developed a simple method to isolate RNA from cortical bone enriched with osteocytes. Our purpose was to investigate how zoledronate (ZA) treatment modulates the responses of osteocytes and the bone marrow (BM) to acute PTH treatment. Mice received ZA treatment for 3 months and a single PTH injection prior to death. Bone was histomorphometrically evaluated. Gene expression was assessed at the RNA level in osteocytes and BM. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and γδT cells were analyzed in the BM and blood using flow cytometry. We found that ZA treatment altered bone responses to PTH. Expression of Sfrp4, a Wnt antagonist, was significantly increased in ZA-affected osteocytes. BM EPCs were increased in response to acute PTH but not when treatment was combined with ZA. ZA treatment augmented EPCs in the BM but not in blood, which suggests that ZA treatment may have differential effects between the BM and blood. These findings indicate that osteocytes and BM EPCs in mice on ZA treatment respond differently to acute PTH from those not receiving ZA. This may partially explain the mechanisms of previous reports that ZA therapy attenuates the anabolic effect of PTH in bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with osteoporosis who receive tooth extractions are typically on either oral bisphosphonate or parathyroid hormone (PTH) therapy. Currently, the consequence of these therapies on hard- and soft-tissue healing in the oral cavity is not clearly defined. The aim of this study is to determine the differences in the therapeutic effect on tooth-extraction wound healing between bisphosphonate and PTH therapies. METHODS Maxillary second molars were extracted in Sprague Dawley rats (n = 30), and either bisphosphonate (zoledronate [Zol]), PTH, or saline (vehicle control [VC]) was administered for 10 days (n = 10 per group). Hard-tissue healing was evaluated by microcomputed tomography and histomorphometric analyses. Collagen, blood vessels, inflammatory cell infiltration, and cathepsin K expression were assessed in soft tissue using immunohistochemistry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immunoblotting. RESULTS Both therapies significantly increased bone fill and suppressed vertical bone loss. However, considerably more devital bone was observed in the sockets of rats on Zol versus VC. Although Zol increased the numbers of blood vessels, the total blood vessel area in soft tissue was significantly smaller than in VC. PTH therapy increased osteoblastic bone formation and suppressed osteoclasts. PTH therapy promoted soft-tissue maturation by suppressing inflammation and stimulating collagen deposition. CONCLUSION Zoledronate therapy deters whereas PTH therapy promotes hard- and soft-tissue healing in the oral cavity, and both therapies prevent vertical bone loss.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are synthetic analogues of naturally occurring pyrophosphate compounds. They are used in clinical practice to inhibit bone resorption in bone metastases, osteoporosis, and Paget's disease. BPs induce apoptosis because they can be metabolically incorporated into nonhydrolyzable analogues of adenosine triphosphate. In addition, the nitrogen-containing BPs (N-BPs), second-generation BPs, act by inhibiting farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase, a key enzyme of the mevalonate pathway. These molecules are able to induce apoptosis of a number of cancer cells in vitro. Moreover, antiangiogenic effect of BPs has also been reported. However, despite these promising properties, BPs rapidly accumulate into the bone, thus hampering their use to treat extraskeletal tumors. Nanotechnologies can represent an opportunity to limit BP accumulation into the bone, thus increasing drug level in extraskeletal sites of the body. Thus, nanocarriers encapsulating BPs can be used to target macrophages, to reduce angiogenesis, and to directly kill cancer cell. Moreover, nanocarriers can be conjugated with BPs to specifically deliver anticancer agent to bone tumors. This paper describes, in the first part, the state-of-art on the BPs, and, in the following part, the main studies in which nanotechnologies have been proposed to investigate new indications for BPs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that aminobisphosphonates like ibandronate show anticancer activity by an unknown mechanism. Biochemically, they prevent posttranslational isoprenylation of small GTPases, thus inhibiting their activity. In tumor cells, activated RAS-GTPase, the founding member of the gene family, down-regulates the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene FAS via epigenetic DNA-methylation by DNMT1. We compared ibandronate treatment in neoplastic human U-2 osteosarcoma and in mouse CCL-51 breast cancer cells as well as in the immortalized non-neoplastic MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Ibandronate attenuated cell proliferation in all cell lines tested. In the neoplastic cells we found up-regulation of caspases suggesting apoptosis. Further we found stimulation of FAS-expression as a result of epigenetic DNA demethylation that was due to down-regulation of DNMT1, which was rescued by re-isoprenylation by both geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate and farnesylpyrophosphate. In contrast, ibandronate did not affect FAS and DNMT1 expression in MC3T3-E1 non-neoplastic cells. Data suggest that bisphosphonates via modulation of the activity of small-GTPases induce apoptosis in neoplastic cells by DNA-CpG-demethylation and stimulation of FAS-expression. In conclusion the shown epigenetic mechanism underlying the anti-neoplastic activity of farnesyl-transferase-inhibition, also explains the clinical success of other drugs, which target this pathway.

Abstract
Denosumab is a breakthrough biological drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency for the treatment of osteoporosis in 2010. It is a fully human monoclonal antireceptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand antibody, which inhibits the activity of osteoclasts, resulting in an antiresorptive effect with a significant increase in bone mineral density. The FREEDOM (Fracture Reduction Evaluation of Denosumab in Osteoporosis every 6 Months) trial, comparing denosumab with no treatment in 7868 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, showed an important reduction of fracture risk at hip, vertebral, and nonvertebral sites in the treated group, while no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events was detected between denosumab and placebo groups. The specific action of denosumab directed against a key regulator of osteoclasts makes it a valuable tool in preventing the occurrence of skeletal events caused by bone destruction in patients with advanced malignancies. The drug was approved for postmenopausal osteoporosis in women at increased risk of fracture and for the treatment of bone loss associated with androgen deprivation therapy in men with prostate cancer.

Abstract
The replacement of the calcified cartilage by bone tissue during the endochondral ossification of the mandibular condyle is dependent of the resorbing activity of osteoclats. After partial resorption, calcified cartilage septa are covered by a primary bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts. Osteoadherin (OSAD) is a small proteoglycan present in bone matrix but absent in cartilage during the endochondral ossification. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of alendronate, a drug known to inhibit bone resorption by osteoclasts, on the endochondral ossification of the mandibular condyle of young rats, by evaluating the distribution of osteoclasts and the presence of OSAD in the bone matrix deposited. Wistar newborn rats (n=45) received daily injections of alendronate (n=27) or sterile saline solution as control (n=18) from the day of birth until the ages of 4, 14 and 30 days. At the days mentioned, the mandibular condyles were collected and processed for transmission electron microscopy analysis. Specimens were also submitted to tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) histochemistry and ultrastructural immunodetection of OSAD. Alendronate treatment did not impede the recruitment and fusion of osteoclasts at the ossification zone during condyle growth, but they presented inactivated phenotype. The trabeculae at the ossification area consisted of cartilage matrix covered by a layer of primary bone matrix that was immunopositive to OSAD at all time points studied. Apparently, alendronate impeded the removal of calcified cartilage and maturation of bone trabeculae in the mandibular ramus, while in controls they occurred normally. These findings highlight for giving attention to the potential side-effects of bisphosphonates administered to young patients once it may represent a risk of disturbing maxillofacial development.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) formed from polymers conjugated with bisphosphonates (BPs) allow the bone targeting of loaded drugs, such as doxorubicin, for the treatment of skeletal tumours. The additional antiosteoclastic effect of the conjugated BP could contribute to the inhibition of tumour-associated bone degradation. With this aim, we have produced NPs made of poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) conjugated with alendronate (ALE). To show if ALE retained the antiosteoclastic properties after the conjugation with PLGA and the production of NPs, we treated human osteoclasts, derived from circulating precursors, with PLGA-ALE NPs and compared the effects on actin ring generation, apoptosis and type-I collagen degradation with those of free ALE and with NPs made of pure PLGA. PLGA-ALE NPs disrupted actin ring, induced apoptosis and inhibited collagen degradation. Unexpectedly, also NPs made of pure PLGA showed similar effects. Therefore, we cannot exclude that in addition to the observed antiosteoclastic activity dependent on ALE in PLGA-ALE NPs, there was also an effect due to pure PLGA. Still, as PLGA-ALE NPs are intended for the loading with drugs for the treatment of osteolytic bone metastases, the additional antiosteoclastic effect of PLGA-ALE NPs, and even of PLGA, may contribute to the inhibition of the disease-associated bone degradation.

Abstract
Bone histomorphometry is a valuable tool in the evaluation of bone safety and the mechanism of action of drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Recent studies in patients treated with anti-resorptive agents have highlighted technical issues, in particular, related to the calculation of dynamic indices of bone turnover using fluorochrome labelling. This review addresses the need for standardised approaches for overcoming these problems in order to enable valid comparison of the effects of different interventions on bone remodelling.
