Several theories have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, one of which is that osteoclast precursors might be accumulating during treatment. Our aim was to study the effects of denosumab on osteoclast precursors in postmenopausal women. This cross-sectional observational study included 30 postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis, divided into two groups: 15 treated with denosumab (mean duration 4 years, range 6 months-9 years) and 15 treatment-naïve controls. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood and were stained for CD14, MCSFR, CD11b and TNFRII. Osteoclast precursors (CD14+/MCSFR+, CD14+/CD11b + OR CD14+/TNFRII+) were identified with fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS). The proportion of osteoclasts was determined by calculating their percentage of the total cell population in each whole blood sample. To confirm the expected suppression of bone turnover in the subjects treated with denosumab, we measured serum PINP, CTX and TRACP5b. Denosumab-treated patients exhibited a significantly higher count of CD14+/CD11b + osteoclast precursors compared to controls (median 4% vs 0.75%, P=.011). There was no correlation with the duration of treatment. Bone turnover markers were significantly lower in the group treated with denosumab than controls. Our findings indicate an increase in osteoclast precursors, which could explain the overshoot phenomenon observed after discontinuing denosumab.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142454266","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}

Efzimfotase alfa (ALXN1850) is a second-generation TNSALP enzyme replacement therapy in development for HPP. This first-in-human open-label, dose-escalating phase 1 trial evaluated efzimfotase alfa safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity. Fifteen adults (5/cohort) with HPP received efzimfotase alfa in doses of 15 mg (cohort 1), 45 mg (cohort 2), or 90 mg (cohort 3) as one intravenous (i.v.) dose followed by 3 weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) doses. The primary objective was to assess safety and tolerability. Secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of ALP substrates known to be biomarkers of disease (inorganic pyrophosphate [PPi] and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate [PLP]) and immunogenicity. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 12 (80%) participants. Eight (53%) participants had injection site reactions (ISRs), observed after 10 of 41 (24%) s.c. injections. Most ISR TEAEs were mild and resolved within 1-2 d. Peak and total exposures of efzimfotase alfa increased in a greater-than-dose proportional manner over the range of 15-90 mg after i.v. and s.c. dosing. The arithmetic mean elimination half-life was approximately 6 d; absolute bioavailability was 28.6%-36.8% over the s.c. dose range of 15-90 mg. Dose-dependent reductions in plasma concentrations of PPi and PLP relative to baseline reached nadir in the first week after i.v. dosing and were sustained for 3-4 wk after the last s.c. dose. Four (27%) participants tested positive for antidrug antibodies (ADAs), 3 of whom were ADA positive before the first dose of efzimfotase alfa. ADAs had no apparent effect on efzimfotase alfa pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. No participants had neutralizing antibodies. Efzimfotase alfa demonstrated acceptable safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles and was associated with sustained reductions in biomarkers of disease in adults with HPP, supporting further evaluation in adult and pediatric patients.

FHH1, due to heterozygous inactivating variants in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR), accounts for the majority of cases. FHH2, due to variants in GNA11, encoding the α-subunit of the downstream signaling protein, G11, is the rarest form of FHH.

Tightly regulated cell fusion during osteoclastogenesis leads to formation of resorption-competent OCLs, whose sizes fall within a predictable physiological range. The molecular mechanisms that regulate the onset of OCL fusion and its subsequent arrest are, however, largely unknown. We have previously shown that OCLs cultured from mice homozygous for the R51Q mutation in the vesicle trafficking-associated protein sorting nexin 10, a mutation that induces autosomal recessive osteopetrosis in humans and in mice, display deregulated and continuous fusion that generates gigantic, inactive OCLs. Fusion of mature OCLs is therefore arrested by an active, genetically encoded, cell-autonomous, and SNX10-dependent mechanism. To directly examine whether SNX10 performs a similar role in vivo, we generated SNX10-deficient (SKO) mice and demonstrated that they display massive osteopetrosis and that their OCLs fuse uncontrollably in culture, as do homozygous R51Q SNX10 (RQ/RQ) mice. OCLs that lack SNX10 exhibit persistent presence of DC-STAMP protein at their periphery, which may contribute to their uncontrolled fusion. To visualize endogenous SNX10-mutant OCLs in their native bone environment, we genetically labeled the OCLs of WT, SKO, and RQ/RQ mice with enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP), and then visualized the 3D organization of resident OCLs and the pericellular bone matrix by 2-photon, confocal, and second harmonics generation microscopy. We show that the volumes, surface areas and, in particular, the numbers of nuclei in the OCLs of both mutant strains were on average 2-6-fold larger than those of OCLs from WT mice, indicating that deregulated, excessive fusion occurs in the mutant mice.
