They frequently occur in cortically-enriched bones of the lower extremities. Burosumab, a neutralizing antibody to FGF23, heals fractures in adults with XLH, presumably by healing osteomalacia. Histomorphometry has documented healing of osteomalacia in trabecular bone. The effects of burosumab on cortical bone have not been reported. Therefore, 3D-DXA measurements of the proximal femur were used to examine the impact of 1 yr of burosumab therapy on cortical and trabecular bone in symptomatic adults with XLH. Twenty volunteers from the registration trial for burosumab were separately consented for this study. DXA scans of the hip were obtained before and 6, 12 and 18-24 mo (mo.) after drug therapy (1 mg/kg every 4 wk). 3D-DXA analyses were performed using 3D-Shaper software (3D-Shaper Medical). Changes in femoral neck (FN) areal BMD (aBMD), total hip (TH) aBMD, TH trabecular volumetric BMD (vBMD), FN trabecular vBMD, TH cortical surface BMD (sBMD), FN cortical sBMD, and FN cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) were analyzed. Both TH and FN trabecular vBMD showed significant increases over the course of therapy (13.6% and 14.1% respectively at the end of treatment compared to baseline; p < .0001 for each). Fractures and pseudofractures often occur in the cortically-enriched FN in XLH. Burosumab induced a significant increase in FN cortical sBMD between 6 and 12 mo.

The FN CSMI, an indicator of FN strength, also significantly increased at 12 and 18-24 mo. when compared to baseline; p < .05 and p < .01 respectively.

This prospective cohort analysis used data from the UK Biobank, a large population-based cohort of participants recruited 2006-2010 at age 40-69 yr. The exposure was type 1 or type 2 diabetes at baseline, with the outcome of first incident osteoporotic fracture. Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for osteoporotic fracture to investigate prospective relationships between diabetes type 1 or 2 and fracture risk independent of traditional clinical risk factors, estimated bone mineral density by heel ultrasound (eBMD), adiposity, and C-reactive protein. The role of diabetic microvascular complications and associations between diabetes duration and fracture risk were studied.

Menopause leads to a significant decline in bone mass and quality, with over half of women sustaining fragility fractures without reaching the osteoporotic threshold (T-score < -2.5), underscoring the pivotal role of bone quality in fracture risk. Previous studies have shown that estrogen (E₂) deficiency following ovariectomy (OVX) in mice activates memory T-cells (TM) to produce TNFα and IL-17A, resulting in trabecular bone loss. This study extends these findings to cortical bone, revealing that under habitual load osteoclasts are predominantly localized on the posterior endosteal surface. Post-OVX, mice exhibited enlarged lacunae indicative of osteocytic osteolysis and reduced dendrite density in osteocytes (Ocy) adjacent to T-cells, with these effects being more pronounced on the posterior side where osteoclast-T-cell interactions are heightened. Additionally, osteoblast (OB) function analysis revealed that while bone formation at the mid-diaphysis remained unchanged, the collagen matrix became more disorganized, particularly in the posterior cortical compartment. Importantly, OVX increased bone fragility without altering cortical thickness or mineral density. These detrimental changes were absent in OVX mice lacking TNFα and IL-17A expression in TM cells (IL15RAΔT), suggesting that these cytokines specifically impair the osteolineage (Ocy and OB), compromising bone quality in ways undetectable by μCT. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism where T-cell-mediated inflammation reduced cortical bone quality by targeting the osteolineage, leading to disrupted matrix organization and Ocy dendrite density. Clinically, these results highlight the potential of targeting T-cell responses to maintain bone quality and strength in estrogen-deficient states. Additionally, estrogen loss adversely affects endosteal bone quality in distinct cortical compartments without impacting bone mass, a deficit that may remain undetected by DXA scans.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
