Predictive Power of Bone Turnover Biomarkers to Estimate Bone Mineral Density after Kidney Transplantation with or without Denosumab: A post hoc Analysis of the POSTOP Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Low bone mineral density (BMD) represents a major risk factor for bone fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as after kidney transplantation. However, modalities to solidly predict patients at fracture risk are yet to be defined. Better understanding of bone turnover biomarkers (BTMs) may close this diagnostic gap. This study strives to correlate BTMs to BMD in kidney transplant recipients. METHODS:Changes in BTMs - procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), ?-isomer of the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and urine deoxypyridinoline/Cr - at the time of transplant and 3 months were correlated to changes in BMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the time of transplant, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Half of the collective was treated with denosumab twice yearly in addition to the standard treatment with calcium and vitamin D. RESULTS:Changes in bone formation markers BSAP and P1NP within 3 months showed a significant negative correlation to changes in BMD at the hip within 6 months in denosumab-naïve patients. This correlation was abrogated by denosumab treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Changes in BSAP and P1NP showed promise in short-term prediction of BMD. We suggest further trials expanding on the knowledge of these BTMs with assessment of fracture risk, sequential measurements of BTMs within the first 6 months, and the additional use of computed tomography to assess BMD.

Project description:BackgroundSevere gonadal steroid deficiency induces bone loss in adult men; however, the specific roles of androgen and estrogen deficiency in hypogonadal bone loss are unclear. Additionally, the threshold levels of testosterone and estradiol that initiate bone loss are uncertain.MethodsOne hundred ninety-eight healthy men, ages 20-50, received goserelin acetate, which suppresses endogenous gonadal steroid production, and were randomized to treatment with 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, or 10 grams of testosterone gel daily for 16 weeks. An additional cohort of 202 men was randomized to receive these treatments plus anastrozole, which suppresses conversion of androgens to estrogens. Thirty-seven men served as controls and received placebos for goserelin and testosterone. Changes in bone turnover markers, bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and BMD by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) were assessed in all men. Bone microarchitecture was assessed in 100 men.ResultsAs testosterone dosage decreased, the percent change in C-telopeptide increased. These increases were considerably greater when aromatization of testosterone to estradiol was also suppressed, suggesting effects of both testosterone and estradiol deficiency. Decreases in DXA BMD were observed when aromatization was suppressed but were modest in most groups. QCT spine BMD fell substantially in all testosterone-dose groups in which aromatization was also suppressed, and this decline was independent of testosterone dose. Estradiol deficiency disrupted cortical microarchitecture at peripheral sites. Estradiol levels above 10 pg/ml and testosterone levels above 200 ng/dl were generally sufficient to prevent increases in bone resorption and decreases in BMD in men.ConclusionsEstrogens primarily regulate bone homeostasis in adult men, and testosterone and estradiol levels must decline substantially to impact the skeleton.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00114114.FundingAbbVie Inc., AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, NIH.

Project description:Purpose: The association between bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers, and serum cholesterol in healthy population has already been proved. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), it has not been adequately analyzed. In this study, we investigated the correlation between BMD, bone turnover markers, and serum cholesterol levels in people with T2D. Methods: We enrolled 1,040 men and 735 women with T2D from Zhongshan Hospital between October 2009 and January 2013. Their general condition, history of diseases and medication, serum markers, and BMD data were collected. We used logistic regression analysis to identify the association between serum cholesterol levels and BMD as well as bone turnover markers. Results: In multivariate regression analysis, we observed that in men with T2D, high high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and total cholesterol levels were significantly associated with low total lumbar, femur neck, and total hip BMD, while low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level was only inversely associated with total lumbar and femur neck BMD. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were also negatively associated with osteocalcin, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide, and ?-crosslaps. In women with T2D, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level was observed to be negatively correlated with total lumbar, femur neck, and total hip BMD, while total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were only associated with BMD at the total lumbar. Furthermore, total cholesterol was also negatively associated with osteocalcin, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide, and ?-crosslaps; high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was only related to osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone, while low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was only related to ?-crosslaps in women. Conclusion: Our study suggests a significantly negative correlation between serum cholesterol levels and BMD in both men and women with T2D. The associations between serum cholesterol levels and bone turnover markers were also observed in T2D patients.
