The biologic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) bone disease are not completely understood. Recent evidence suggests that T cells may regulate bone resorption through the cross-talk between the critical osteoclastogenetic factor, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), and interferon γ (IFN-γ) that strongly suppresses osteoclastogenesis. Using a coculture transwell system we found that human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs) increased the expression and secretion of RANKL in activated T lymphocytes and similarly purified MM cells stimulated RANKL production in autologous T lymphocytes. In addition, either anti–interleukin 6 (anti–IL-6) or anti–IL-7 antibody inhibited HMCL-induced RANKL overexpression. Consistently, we demonstrated that HMCLs and fresh MM cells express IL-7 mRNA and secrete IL-7 in the presence of IL-6 and that bone marrow (BM) IL-7 levels were significantly higher in patients with MM. Moreover, we found that the release of IFN-γ by T lymphocytes was reduced in presence of both HMCLs and purified MM cells. Furthermore, in a stromal cell–free system, osteoclastogenesis was stimulated by conditioned medium of T cells cocultured with HMCLs and inhibited by recombinant human osteoprotegerin (OPG; 100 ng/mL to 1 μg/mL). Finally, RANKL mRNA was up-regulated in BM T lymphocytes of MM patients with severe osteolytic lesions, suggesting that T cells could be involved at least in part in MM-induced osteolysis through the RANKL overexpression.

The Impact

MiR-21 is being gradually more and more recognized as a molecule regulating bone tissue homeostasis. However, its function is not fully understood due to the dual role of miR-21 on bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells. In this study, we investigated the impact of miR-21 inhibition on pre-osteoblastic cells differentiation and paracrine signaling towards pre-osteoclasts using indirect co-culture model of mouse pre-osteoblast (MC3T3) and pre-osteoclast (4B12) cell lines. The inhibition of miR-21 in MC3T3 cells (MC3T3inh21) modulated expression of genes encoding osteogenic markers including collagen type I (Coll-1), osteocalcin (Ocl), osteopontin (Opn), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2). Inhibition of miR-21 in osteogenic cultures of MC3T3 also inflected the synthesis of OPN protein which is essential for proper mineralization of extracellular matrix (ECM) and anchoring osteoclasts to the bones. Furthermore, it was shown that in osteoblasts miR-21 regulates expression of factors that are vital for survival of pre-osteoclast, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). The pre-osteoclast cultured with MC3T3inh21 cells was characterized by lowered expression of several markers associated with osteoclasts’ differentiation, foremost tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (Trap) but also receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (Rank), cathepsin K (Ctsk), carbonic anhydrase II (CaII), and matrix metalloproteinase (Mmp-9). Collectively, our data indicate that the inhibition of miR-21 in MC3T3 cells impairs the differentiation and ECM mineralization as well as influences paracrine signaling leading to decreased viability of pre-osteoclasts.

Objectives Enhanced micromotions between the implant and surrounding bone can impair osseointegration, resulting in fibrous encapsulation and aseptic loosening of the implant. Since the effect of micromotions on human bone cells is sparsely investigated, an in vitro system, which allows application of micromotions on bone cells and subsequent investigation of bone cell activity, was developed. Methods Micromotions ranging from 25 µm to 100 µm were applied as sine or triangle signal with 1 Hz frequency to human osteoblasts seeded on collagen scaffolds. Micromotions were applied for six hours per day over three days. During the micromotions, a static pressure of 527 Pa was exerted on the cells by Ti6Al4V cylinders. Osteoblasts loaded with Ti6Al4V cylinders and unloaded osteoblasts without micromotions served as controls. Subsequently, cell viability, expression of the osteogenic markers collagen type I, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin, as well as gene expression of osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of NF-κB ligand, matrix metalloproteinase-1, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, were investigated. Results Live and dead cell numbers were higher after 25 µm sine and 50 µm triangle micromotions compared with loaded controls. Collagen type I synthesis was downregulated in respective samples. The metabolic activity and osteocalcin expression level were higher in samples treated with 25 µm micromotions compared with the loaded controls. Furthermore, static loading and micromotions decreased the osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of NF-κB ligand ratio. Conclusion Our system enables investigation of the behaviour of bone cells at the bone-implant interface under shear stress induced by micromotions. We could demonstrate that micromotions applied under static pressure conditions have a significant impact on the activity of osteoblasts seeded on collagen scaffolds. In future studies, higher mechanical stress will be applied and different implant surface structures will be considered. Cite this article: J. Ziebart, S. Fan, C. Schulze, P. W. Kämmerer, R.

ObjectivesTo examine how rituximab may result in the inhibition of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.MethodsTwenty-eight patients with active RA were treated with rituximab. Radiographs of hands and feet before and 1 year after therapy were assessed using the Sharp–van der Heijde score (SHS). Expression of bone destruction markers was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence of synovial biopsies obtained before and 16 weeks after the initiation of treatment. Serum levels of osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), osteocalcin and cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTx) were measured by ELISA before and 16 weeks post-treatment.ResultsAfter 1 year, the mean (SD) change in total SHS was 1.4 (10.0). Sixteen weeks after treatment there was a decrease of 99% in receptor activator of nuclear factor κB-positive osteoclast precursors (p=0.02) and a decrease of 37% (p=0.016) in RANKL expression in the synovium and a trend towards reduced synovial osteoprotegerin expression (25%, p=0.07). In serum, both osteoprotegerin (20%, p=0.001) and RANKL (40%, p<0.0001) levels were significantly reduced 16 weeks after treatment, but the osteoprotegerin/RANKL ratio increased (157%, p=0.006). A trend was found towards an increase of osteocalcin levels (p=0.053), while NTx concentrations did not change.ConclusionsRituximab treatment is associated with a decrease in synovial osteoclast precursors and RANKL expression and an increase in the osteoprotegerin/RANKL ratio in serum. These observations may partly explain the protective effect of rituximab on the progression of joint destruction in RA.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Bone metastasis, which usually accompanies severe skeletal-related events, is the most common site for tumor distant dissemination and detected in more than one-third of patients with advanced lung cancer. Biopsy and imaging play critical roles in the diagnosis of bone metastasis; however, these approaches are characterized by evident limitations. Recently, studies regarding potential biomarkers in the serum, urine, and tumor tissue, were performed to predict the bone metastases and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. In this review, we summarize the findings of recent clinical research studies on biomarkers detected in samples obtained from patients with lung cancer bone metastasis. These markers include the following: (1) bone resorption-associated markers, such as N-terminal telopeptide (NTx)/C-terminal telopeptide (CTx), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx-I), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b), pyridinoline (PYD), and parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP); (2) bone formation-associated markers, including total serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP)/bone specific alkaline phosphatase(BAP), osteopontin (OP), osteocalcin (OS), amino-terminal extension propeptide of type I procollagen/carboxy-terminal extension propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP/PINP); (3) signaling markers, including epidermal growth factor receptor/Kirsten rat sarcoma/anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EGFR/KRAS/ALK), receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor κB/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/RANK/OPG), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12/C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCL12/CXCR4), complement component 5a receptor (C5AR); and (4) other potential markers, such as calcium sensing receptor (CASR), bone sialoprotein (BSP), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), cytokeratin 19 fragment/carcinoembryonic antigen (CYFRA/CEA), tissue factor, cell-free DNA, long non-coding RNA, and microRNA. The prognostic value of these markers is also investigated. Furthermore, we listed some clinical trials targeting hotspot biomarkers in advanced lung cancer referring for their therapeutic effects.

ObjectiveThe mechanisms regulating the anabolic response of the skeleton to intermittent exogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration are not fully elucidated. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the acute effect (up to 1 month) of teriparatide (TPTD; human recombinant PTH 1–34) on serum levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in women with established osteoporosis.DesignTwenty-three postmenopausal Caucasian women with established osteoporosis (mean age 66.7±1.6 years) received daily injections of 20 μg TPTD for 12 months.MethodsSerum samples for total calcium (Ca), phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen, intact PTH (iPTH), OPG, and RANKL were obtained at baseline, 1 h, 1 day, and 1 month after initiation of therapy. Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was measured before and 12 months after TPTD treatment.ResultsSerum total Ca increased and iPTH gradually decreased with TPTD treatment. Serum OPG levels remained unchanged, while RANKL increased gradually during the study (P<0.001). There was no correlation between OPG or RANKL and BMD changes or iPTH levels.ConclusionsTPTD therapy in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis results in acute increase in serum RANKL levels but does not affect serum OPG. These changes may reflect an increase in the number of active osteoblasts with therapy and might be responsible for the acceleration of bone turnover rate that characterizes TPTD.

Markers Of Bone Resorption

Abstract Context: The mechanisms of action of PTH on bone in vivo remain incompletely understood. The objective of this investigation was to examine changes in serum levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in primary hyperparathyroidism and their relationship to bone loss. Patients and Methods: Twenty-nine patients with primary hyperparathyroidism had baseline circulating soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL) and OPG measured. The relationship to biochemical markers of bone turnover and changes in bone mineral density over 2 yr was examined. Results: Baseline sRANKL levels were elevated (1.7 ± 0.1 pmol/liter), whereas OPG remained in the normal range (5.6 ± 0.4 pmol/liter). Circulating sRANKL did not correlate with PTH but did correlate with markers of bone resorption (urine deoxypyridinoline cross-links: r = 0.51, P &lt; 0.01; serum N-telopeptide of type I collagen: r = 0.37, P &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, sRANKL correlated with both IL-6 and IL-6 soluble receptor (IL-6sR) (r = 0.47, P &lt; 0.05 and r = 0.55, P &lt; 0.005, respectively). Serum sRANKL levels also correlated with bone loss at the total femur (r = −0.53, P &lt; 0.01). Lastly, a high value of sRANKL in combination with values of IL-6 and IL-6sR in the upper quartile (sRANKL ≥ 1.81 pg/ml, IL −6 ≥ 11.8 pg/ml, and IL-6sR ≥ 45.6 ng/ml) defined a group of four women with significantly greater rates of bone loss at the total femur than the remaining patients (−2.7 ± 1.7% vs. +0.5 ± 0.3%; n = 4 vs. n = 19, P &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: Determination of circulating levels of sRANKL may be useful in identifying patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism at greater risk for bone loss. The fact that circulating sRANKL did not correlate with PTH but did correlate with markers of bone resorption suggests that skeletal responsiveness to PTH may differ in this disease.
