Burn injury in children is associated with low bone formation and long-term bone loss. Because recombinant human GH (rHGH) may accelerate burn wound healing, and because rHGH increases bone formation and density in GH-deficient patients, we studied the short-term effects of rHGH on bone formation, reflected by osteocalcin and type I procollagen propeptide levels in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Nineteen patients were enrolled and received either rHGH (0.2 mg/kg·day) or an equal volume of saline. Mean burn size and age were not different between the groups, and test substances were given from admission to time of wound healing (mean: 43 ± 22 days). At wound healing, serum levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 in the rHGH group rose to mean values of 229% and 187% of the respective means of the placebo group (P < 0.025). Serum osteocalcin concentrations remained below normal in both groups, and type I procollagen propeptide levels achieved a low normal level. IGFBP-4 levels were twice that of normal on admission and doubled further at wound healing; IGFBP-5 levels were low on admission but rose to normal at wound healing. We conclude that large doses of rHGH were ineffective in improving disordered bone formation despite increasing serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3. The rHGH-independent rise in serum levels of the inhibitory binding protein IGFBP-4 suggests a mechanism by which improved bone formation is prevented despite successful elevation of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in the burned child.

Abstract Bone lytic disease is a major feature of multiple myeloma (MM) and is characterized by an increased osteoclast activity which is accompanied by a suppressed osteoblast function. Furthermore, increased angiogenesis is implicated in the pathogenesis of both bone disease and myeloma cell growth and survival. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern of bone marrow involvement correlate with prognosis in MM. The aim of this study was to evaluate the MRI pattern of marrow infiltration in correlation with markers of bone remodeling and angiogenesis in 44 newly diagnosed, untreated, MM patients (42 with symptomatic and 2 with asymptomatic MM). MRI of the spine was performed at the same time with measurement of a series of biochemical serum indices of bone metabolism and angiogenesis: osteoclast stimulators [soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and osteopontin], bone resorption markers [C- and N-telopeptide of collagen type-I (CTX, and NTX, respectively), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b)], bone formation markers [bone alkaline phosphatase (bALP), and osteocalcin (OC)], and angiogenic cytokines [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF-A, angiogenin (ANG), angiopoietin-2 (ANGP-2), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)]. Myeloma patients had increased values of sRANKL (p<0.0001), OPG (p=0.01), sRANKL/OPG ratio (p<0.0001), NTX (p<0.0001), CTX (p=0.04), TRACP-5b (p<0.0001), VEGF (p=0.03), VEGF-A (p<0.0001), ANG (p<0.001), ANGP-2 (p=0.001), and bFGF (p=0.007) compared with respective values of 33, gender and age matched, controls. MRI revealed that 19 patients had focal pattern of marrow involvement, 11 diffuse, 10 normal, and 4 had a variegated pattern. Patients with diffuse MRI pattern also had reduced values of bALP (p<0.0001) compared to controls, while patients with normal pattern had reduced levels of both formation markers (OC and bALP; p=0.04 and <0.0001, respectively) and normal levels of OPG. On the contrary, patients with focal and variegated patterns had normal values of bALP and OC. Bone formation as assessed by bALP was more suppressed in patients with diffuse or normal MRI patterns compared to patients of focal or variegated patterns (mean±SD: 15.9±7.3 U/L vs. 29.3±24.5 U/L; p=0.02), while there was no difference between these groups in terms of resorption markers or osteoclast stimulators’ levels. In addition, patients with diffuse and normal MRI pattern also had increased levels of VEGF-A compared to patients of focal or variegated patterns (mean±SD: 83±68.4 pg/mL vs. 38.4±55 pg/mL; p=0.04). All but two patients of diffuse pattern (81%) had at least one vertebral fracture on radiographic evaluation of the axial skeleton compared to ten patients with focal pattern (52%). These results suggest that patients with diffuse MRI pattern have suppressed bone formation, increased levels of the major angiogenic cytokine VEGF-A, and increased incidence of vertebral fractures compared to patients who showed a focal pattern of myeloma infiltration.

Administration of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) or growth hormone (GH) is known to stimulate bone turnover and kidney function. To investigate the effects of IGF-I and GH on markers of bone turnover, eight adult GH-deficient patients (48 ± 14 yr of age) were treated with IGF-I (5 μg/kg/h in a continuous sc infusion) and GH (0.03 IU/kg/daily sc injection at 2000 h) in a randomized cross-over study. We monitored baseline values for three consecutive days before initiating the five-day treatment period, as well as the wash-out period of ten weeks. Serum osteocalcin, carboxyterminal and aminoterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP and PINP, respectively) increased significantly within 2–3 days of both treatments (P < 0.02) and returned to baseline levels within one week after the treatment end. The changes in resorption markers were less marked as compared with formation markers. Total 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2D3) rose significantly, whereas PTH and calcium levels remained unchanged during either treatment. Conclusions: Because the rapid increase in markers of bone formation was not preceded by an increase in resorption markers, IGF-I is likely to stimulate bone formation by a direct effect on osteoblasts. Moreover, because PTH, calcium, and phosphate remained unchanged, IGF-I appears to stimulate renal 1α-hydroxylase activity in vivo.
