The secretory calcium-binding phosphoproteins (SCPPs) are encoded by genes that arose by duplication. In the human genome, 23 SCPP genes have been identified, and 2 groups of SCPPs regulate dental mineralization: bone, dentin, and/or cementum matrix proteins and enamel proteins. In the past 2 decades, the functional roles of SCPPs in dental mineralization have been revealed by studies of human disorders and genetically edited mice. Five enamel SCPPs, amelogenin (AMEL), enamelin (ENAM), ameloblastin (AMBN), odontogenic ameloblast associated (ODAM), and amelotin (AMTN), are secreted by ameloblasts during sequentially arranged stages of amelogenesis. Sequence variants in 4 of the enamel SCPP genes (AMEL, ENAM, AMBN, and AMTN) have been associated with inherited malformations of enamel, termed amelogenesis imperfecta. Loss-of-function variants contribute to enamel of reduced thickness and/or mineral density. Two bone/dentin/cementum SCPPs, dentin matrix protein 1 and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), are critical for dentin mineralization. Functional studies in genetically edited mice imply that dentin sialoprotein (the N-terminal fragment of DSPP) promotes the propagation of mineralization, and that dentin phosphoprotein (the C-terminal fragment of DSPP) is essential for the fusion and the increase of mineral density of calcospherites. Pathogenic variants in DSPP can cause 2 distinct entities of isolated hereditary dentinogenesis imperfecta. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin are markers of cementum (and bone) in multiple species. Global ablation of BSP in mice resulted in acellular cementum hypoplasia, hypomineralized alveolar bone and breakdown of periodontal function. Osteopontin appears to have a more complex role in regulating mineralized tissues via several direct and indirect mechanisms. Research into SCPPs has provided new insights into the evolution of biomineralization, normal dental development, and inherited disorders, as well as translational directions for tissue repair and regeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":"909-930"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12308831/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143958926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We previously showed a strong association between treatment-induced changes in total hip bone mineral density(THBMD) at 12 and 24 mo and reduced fracture risk in placebo-controlled trials. We determined the surrogate threshold effect(STE): the minimum THBMD difference (active-placebo) in a trial that would predict a significant reduction in fracture risk in trials. In this analysis, we investigated whether these associations are influenced by drug mechanism of action or trial design, including treatment with an anabolic followed by an anti-resorptive compared to active control or placebo. We analyzed individual patient data from 22 randomized, placebo-controlled trials (17 anti-resorptive, 3 PTH analogues, 1 odanacatib, and 1 romosozumab placebo-controlled phase), and three trials of an anabolic followed by an anti-resorptive(1 PTH analogue and 2 romosozumab). We established treatment-related differences in THBMD changes, calculated fracture risk reductions for radiologic vertebral and all clinical fractures, and estimated study-level associations between these features via meta-regression. We found consistent associations between treatment-related THBMD changes and fracture risk reduction across different drug mechanisms and trial designs. Among placebo-controlled trials, the r2 values for vertebral fractures were 0.73(p = .0001) and 0.78(p = .0002) at 24 mo, and 0.59(p = .0003) and 0.70(p = .0007) at 12 mo for all drugs versus only anti-resorptive drugs, respectively. Similarly, for all clinical fractures, the r2 were 0.71(p < .0001) and 0.65(p = .0009) at 24 mo and 0.46(p = .0007) and 0.51(p = .002) at 12 mo for all drugs versus only anti-resorptive drugs. For trials of an anabolic followed by an anti-resorptive, the association between THBMD change and fracture risk reduction was similar to that for the placebo-controlled monotherapy trials. Our analyses indicate robust associations between treatment-induced THBMD changes and fracture risk reduction across various anti-osteoporosis therapies and trial designs, suggesting that treatment-induced changes in THBMD predict anti-fracture efficacy regardless of drug mechanism or trial design.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144726247","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}

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.
