Abstract We examined the response of different biochemical markers of bone resorption to bisphosphonate therapy (400 mg of etidronate daily for 6 months) in mild Paget disease (n = 14). Urinary markers included hydroxyproline (OHP), total (T) and free (F) pyridinolines (Pyds) determined by HPLC, immunoreactive FPyds, immunoreactive TPyds, and the N- and C-terminal telopeptides of type I collage (NTx, CL). Serum measurements included tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) and the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP). ICTP and TRAcP showed a minimal response to therapy (% change at 6 months, -13.1 +/- 6.8 and -6.7 +/- 3.4, respectively). The response was greatest for urinary telopeptides (NTx and CL; % change -75.7 +/- 7.5 and -73.4 +/- 8.9, respectively). The response was somewhat greater for TPyds than for FPyds. We conclude that: (a) ICTP and TRAcP are unreliable indicators of changes in bone turnover; (b) oligopeptide-bound Pyds and telopeptide fragments of type I collagen in urine show a somewhat greater response to therapy than do FPyds and may be more sensitive indicators of bone resorption; and (c) as yet no evidence suggests that these markers are substantially better predictors of the clinical response to therapy than serum total alkaline phosphatase or urinary OHP. There are several problems with the interpretation of these measurements in Paget disease, and the clinical utility of these measurements remains uncertain.

Objective.To determine whether serum markers of bone formation and resorption, used individually or in combination, can be used to identify subgroups who lose cartilage volume at different rates over 2 years within a knee osteoarthritis (OA) population.Methods.Changes in cartilage volume over 2 years were measured in 117 subjects with knee OA using magnetic resonance imaging. We examined relationships between change in cartilage volume and baseline serum markers of bone formation [intact N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP) and osteocalcin] and resorption [N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX-I), C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP).Results.The baseline markers of bone formation, PINP and osteocalcin (p = 0.02, p = 0.01, respectively), and the baseline markers of bone resorption, CTX-I and NTX-I (p = 0.02 for both), were significantly associated with reduced cartilage loss. There were no significant associations between baseline ratios of bone formation to resorption markers and cartilage loss. However, when subjects were divided into subgroups with high or low bone formation markers (based on levels of marker ≥ mean or < mean for the population, respectively), in the subgroup with high PINP there was a significant association between increasing bone resorption markers CTX-I and NTX-I and reduced cartilage loss (p = 0.02, p = 0.001, respectively). Similarly, in the subgroup with high osteocalcin, there was a significant association between increasing CTX-I and NTX-I and reduced cartilage loss (p = 0.02, p = 0.003, respectively). In contrast, in subgroups with low bone formation markers, no significant associations were obtained between markers of bone resorption and cartilage loss.Conclusion.Overall, the results suggest that higher bone remodeling (i.e., higher serum levels of bone formation and resorption) is associated with reduced cartilage loss. Considering markers of bone formation and resorption together, it is possible to identify subgroups within the OA population who have reduced rates of cartilage loss.

Abstract Introduction Serum carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (I-CTP) is a collagen degradation product of type I collagen in the extracellular matrix of the heart, blood vessels, and bone. The serum levels of I-CTP were reportedly a predictive marker for cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction. However, it remains unclear whether I-CTP can predict poor clinical outcome in patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum levels of I-CTP and clinical outcome in patients with ACS. Methods Serum levels of I-CTP were measured in 200 patients with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). All patients were prospectively followed during the median follow-up period of 1312 days with the end point of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We divided the patients into tertiles according to serum I-CTP level: low I-CTP group (≤4.4 ng/ml, n=72), middle I-CTP group (4.4–6.4 ng/ml, n=65), and high I-CTP group (≥6.5 ng/ml, n=63). Results There were 44 MACE, including 24 all-cause death and 9 rehospitalization due to heart failure. I-CTP was significantly higher in patients with MACE than those without (4.90 [interquartile range (IQR): 3.80–6.38] ng/ml vs. 6.65 [IQR: 5.00–10.08] ng/ml, p&lt;0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients in the highest tertile of I-CTP had the greatest risk of MACE. In a univariate analysis, age, Albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and I-CTP were significant predictors of MACE. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that the high I-CTP group had a higher risk for MACE (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.6, p=0.049) compared with the low I-CTP group after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions I-CTP was significantly associated with MACE, suggesting that I-CTP could be a reliable marker for clinical outcome in patients with ACS who underwent PCI.

Objective: Glucocorticoids (GCs) at pharmacological doses stimulate bone resorption. Mechanisms of this action are unclear. The osteoclastogenic cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 acts through an oligomeric receptor consisting of two subunits, gp80 (or IL-6 receptor α, IL-6Rα) and gp130; both exist in membrane and soluble forms. Soluble IL-6Rα (sIL-6Rα) enhances, while sgp130 inhibits IL-6 signalling. In vitro, GCs enhance many effects of IL-6 by up-regulation of IL-6Rα. The aim of the present study was to assess acute changes of IL-6 system in the peripheral blood of patients given high-dose GCs. Subjects and methods: Serum levels of IL-6, sIL-6Rα, sgp130 and bone turnover markers were assessed before and each day during treatment in 24 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients undergoing high-dose (prednisolone, 15 mg/kg per day), short-term (3 to 5 days) intravenous GC therapy for relapse at the Regional Multiple Sclerosis Centre. Results: An immediate and marked fall of osteocalcin and an early increase of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen were already noticed at day 2 (P < 0.001 and P < 0.02, respectively); both became more apparent in the subsequent days. IL-6 was always below or near the detection limit of our ELISA. sgp130 showed a slight increase. sIL-6Rα significantly increased, peaking at day 4 (P < 0.01). However, inter-individual variability of response was noticed. Four patients showed a slight decrease, while no change was observed in one patient and an increase was noticed in the remaining nineteen (maximum change ranging from +10% to +67% with respect to baseline). In these patients, a significant increase of sIL-6Rα/sgp130 ratio was apparent. No correlation was found between bone turnover markers and any measured component of the IL-6 system. Conclusions: sIL-6Rα and sIL-6Rα/sgp130 ratio are precociously increased in the peripheral blood of the vast majority of patients given high-dose, intravenous GCs. The increase of systemically available sIL-6Rα conceivably results in the enhancement of IL-6-dependent osteoclastogenesis. The role of such a mechanism in the bone loss observed in inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases (where abundancy of IL-6 in the bone microenvironment is expected) requires further investigation.
