Celecoxib treatment of fibrous dysplasia (FD) in a human FD cell line and FD-like lesions in mice with protein kinase A (PKA) defects.

ABSTRACT: Osteochondromyxomas (OMX) in the context of Carney complex (CNC) and fibrous dysplasia (FD)-like lesions (FDLL) in mice, as well as isolated myxomas in humans may be caused by inactivation of PRKAR1A, the gene coding for the type 1a regulatory subunit (R1?) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). OMXs and FDLL in mice lacking Prkar1a grow from abnormal proliferation of adult bone stromal cells (aBSCs). Prkar1a and Prkaca (coding for C?) haploinsufficiency leads to COX2 activation and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production that, in turn, activates proliferation of aBSCs. Celecoxib is a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibitor. We hypothesized that COX-2 inhibition may have an effect in FD and FDLL. In vitro treatment of a human cell line prepared from a FD patient with Celecoxib resulted in decreased PGE2 and cell proliferation. Treatment of mice haploinsufficient for R1? and C? with 1500 mg/kg Celecoxib led to decreased PGE2 and proliferation and increased apoptosis, with a corresponding gene expression profile, resulting in dramatic reduction of tumor growth. Furthermore, the treatment improved the organization of cortical bone that was adjacent to the tumor. We conclude that, in vitro and in vivo, Celecoxib had an inhibitory effect on FD cell proliferation and in mouse FDLL structure, respectively. We speculate that COX-2 inhibitors offer an attractive alternative to current treatments for benign tumors such as OMX and FD that, apart from tumor suppression, may mechanically stabilize affected bones.

Project description:Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a skeletal disease caused by somatic activating mutations of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-regulating protein, α-subunit of the Gs stimulatory protein (G(s) α). These mutations lead to replacement of normal bone by proliferative osteogenic precursors, resulting in deformity, fracture, and pain. Medical treatment has been ineffective in altering the disease course. Receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) is a cell-surface protein involved in many cellular processes, including osteoclastogenesis, and is reported to be overexpressed in FD-like bone cells. Denosumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody to RANKL approved for treatment of osteoporosis and prevention of skeletal-related events from bone metastases. We present the case of a 9-year-old boy with severe FD who was treated with denosumab for a rapidly expanding femoral lesion. Immunohistochemical staining on a pretreatment bone biopsy specimen revealed marked RANKL expression. He was started on monthly denosumab, with an initial starting dose of 1 mg/kg and planned 0.25 mg/kg dose escalations every 3 months. Over 7 months of treatment he showed marked reduction in pain, bone turnover markers (BTMs), and tumor growth rate. Denosumab did not appear to impair healing of a femoral fracture that occurred while on treatment. With initiation of treatment he developed hypophosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, necessitating supplementation with phosphorus, calcium, and calcitriol. BTMs showed rapid and sustained suppression. With discontinuation there was rapid and dramatic rebound of BTMs with cross-linked C-telopeptide (reflecting osteoclast activity) exceeding pretreatment levels, accompanied by severe hypercalcemia. In this child, denosumab lead to dramatic reduction of FD expansion and FD-related bone pain. Denosumab was associated with clinically significant disturbances of mineral metabolism both while on treatment and after discontinuation. Denosumab treatment of FD warrants further study to confirm efficacy and determine potential morbidity, as well as to determine the mechanism of RANKL in the pathogenesis of FD and related bone marrow stromal cell diseases.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a phosphate- and vitamin D-regulating hormone derived from osteoblasts/osteocytes that circulates in both active (intact, iFGF23) and inactive (C-terminal, cFGF23) forms. O-glycosylation by O-glycosyl transferase N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (ppGalNAcT3) and differential cleavage by furin have been shown to be involved in regulating the ratio of active to inactive FGF23. Elevated iFGF23 levels are observed in a number of hypophosphatemic disorders, such as X-linked, autosomal recessive, and autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, whereas low iFGF23 levels are found in the hyperphosphatemic disorder familial tumoral calcinosis/hyperphosphatemic hyperostosis syndrome. Fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) is associated with increased total FGF23 levels (cFGF23 + iFGF23); however, classic hypophosphatemic rickets is uncommon. Our results suggest that it can be explained by increased FGF23 cleavage leading to an increase in inactive cFGF23 relative to active iFGF23. Given the fact that FD is caused by activating mutations in the small G-protein G(s) α that results in increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, we postulated that there may be altered FGF23 cleavage in FD and that the mechanism may involve alterations in cAMP levels and ppGalNacT3 and furin activities. Analysis of blood specimens from patients with FD confirmed that the elevated total FGF23 levels are the result of proportionally increased cFGF23 levels, consistent with less glycosylation and enhanced cleavage by furin. Analysis of primary cell lines of normal and mutation-harboring bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from patients with FD demonstrated that BMSCs harboring the causative G(s) α mutation had higher cAMP levels, lower ppGalNAcT3, and higher furin activity. These data support the model wherein glycosylation by ppGalNAcT3 inhibits FGF23 cleavage by furin and suggest that FGF23 processing is a regulated process that controls overall FGF23 activity in FD patients.
