To test the hypothesis that enzymatic collagen cross-links rather than AGEs correlate with fracture incidence in T1D, we analyzed iliac crest biopsies from sex-matched, fracturing T1D patients (N = 5; T1DFx), 6 non-fracturing T1D patients (T1DNoFx), and 6 healthy subjects, by Raman microspectroscopy as a function of tissue age (based on double fluorescent labels), in intracortical and trabecular bone, to determine pyridinoline (Pyd), ε-N-Carboxymethyl-L-lysine, and pentosidine (PEN)). There were no differences in the clinical characteristics between the T1DFx and T1DNoFx groups. At trabecular forming surfaces, T1DFx patients had higher PEN and Pyd content compared to T1DNoFx ones. Previous studies have shown that elevated PEN does not necessarily correlate with fracture incidence in postmenopausal, long-term T1D patients. On the other hand, the elevated Pyd content in the T1DFx patients would be consistent with published studies showing a significant correlation between elevated trivalent enzymatic collagen cross-links and fracture occurrence independent of BMD. Collagen fibers with high Pyd content are more brittle.

Bisphosphonates are regarded as candidate anti-calcifying drugs because of their inhibitory effects on both calcium-phosphate aggregation and bone resorption. However, calcification in well-known rodent models is dependent upon bone resorption accompanied by excessive bone turnover, making it difficult to estimate accurately the anti-calcifying potential of drugs. Therefore, models with low bone resorption are required to extrapolate anti-calcifying effects to humans. Three bisphosphonates (etidronate, alendronate, and FYB-931) were characterised for their inhibitory effects on bone resorption in vivo and calcium-phosphate aggregation estimated by calciprotein particle formation in vitro. Then, their effects were examined using two models inducing ectopic calcification: the site where lead acetate was subcutaneously injected into mice and the transplanted, aorta obtained from a donor rat. The inhibitory effects of bisphosphonates on bone resorption and calcium-phosphate aggregation were alendronate > FYB-931 > etidronate and FYB-931 > alendronate = etidronate, respectively. In the lead acetate-induced model, calcification was most potently suppressed by FYB-931, followed by alendronate and etidronate. In the aorta-transplanted model, only FYB-931 suppressed calcification at a high dose. In both the models, no correlation was observed between calcification and bone resorption marker, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP). Results from the lead acetate-induced model showed that inhibitory potency against calcium-phosphate aggregation contributed to calcification inhibition.

Clinical measures were assessed together with biochemical evaluation. Values of sclerostin, DKK1, CTX-I, and P1NP were compared with sex-age-matched healthy controls (HCs). We enrolled 34 patients diagnosed with CRPS-1 (mean age 59.3 ± 10.6 years, Male/Female 10/24), median disease duration = 2 weeks (IQR 1-5); median VAS score = 76 (IQR 68-80). Foot localization was slightly more frequent than hand localization (18/16). No statistically significant difference was found between CRPS-1 patients and HCs for CTX-I (0.3 ± 0.1 ng/ml vs 0.3 ± 0.1, p = 0.140), while mean serum values of P1NP were significantly higher in CRPS-1 patients compared to HCs (70.0 ± 38.8 ng/ml vs 50.1 ± 13.6, p = 0.005).

No statistically significant difference was found for all biochemical assessments in a subgroup of fracture-induced CRPS-1.

Sixteen-week-old, male NON/ShiLtJ mice (resistant to T2D) and age-matched, male NONcNZO10/LtJ (prone to T2D) received a control LFD or HFD for 21 weeks. HFD increased the bodyweight to a greater extent in the ShiLtJ mice compared to the NZO10 mice, while blood glucose levels were significantly higher in NZO10 than in ShiLtJ mice. As such, the glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels exceeded 10% in NZO10 mice, but it remained below 6% in ShiLtJ mice. Diet did not affect HbA1c. HFD lowered trabecular number and bone volume fraction of the distal femur metaphysis (micro-computed tomography or μCT) in both strains. For the femur mid-diaphysis, HFD significantly reduced the yield moment (mechanical testing by three-point bending) in both strains but did not affect cross-sectional bone area, cortical thickness, nor cortical tissue mineral density (μCT). Furthermore, the effect of diet on yield moment was independent of the structural resistance of the femur mid-diaphysis suggesting a negative effect of HFD on characteristics of the bone matrix. However, neither Raman spectroscopy nor assays of advanced glycation end-products identified how HFD affected the matrix. HFD also lowered the resistance of cortical bone to crack growth in only the diabetic NZO10 mice (fracture toughness testing of other femur), while HFD reduced the ultimate force of the L6 vertebra in both strains (compression testing).
