1533 Repurposing bisphosphonates for reducing skin inflammation and promoting skin repair
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (BPs) like zoledronic acid (ZA) have long been known for their remarkable inhibition of bone resorption and clinical use for osteopenia. In addition to effects on osteoclasts, BPs deposit in the skin and immune-rich tissue including the spleen and bone marrow and are known to limit macrophage activity. Therefore, we hypothesized BPs could be repurposed for skin conditions in which exaggerated host innate immune responses contribute to tissue pathology. Using our established wound model triggered by exposure to topical nitrogen mustard, an alkylating agent chemotherapeutic commonly used i...

New Developments in Systemic Management for High-Risk Early-Stage Hormone-Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
Curr Treat Options Oncol. 2023 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s11864-023-01082-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor high-risk early-stage hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (HR + /HER2 - EBC), short- and long-term recurrence risks remain substantial despite local control with surgery and radiation and systemic treatment with chemotherapy and endocrine therapy (ET). Recent trials have provided new strategies for reducing recurrence. The monarchE trial demonstrated that adding 2 years of adjuvant abemaciclib to ET improves invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) and distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS). In the Oly...

New Developments in Systemic Management for High-Risk Early-Stage Hormone-Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
Opinion statementFor high-risk early-stage hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (HR  + /HER2 − EBC), short- and long-term recurrence risks remain substantial despite local control with surgery and radiation and systemic treatment with chemotherapy and endocrine therapy (ET). Recent trials have provided new strategies for reducing recurrence. The monarchE trial demonstrate d that adding 2 years of adjuvant abemaciclib to ET improves invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) and distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS).

Zoledronic acid induces ferroptosis by upregulating POR in osteosarcoma
In this study, we discovered that z oledronic acid (ZOL) dramatically increased cell death in osteosarcoma cells, and this cytotoxicity was greatly reversed by liproxstatin-1 (a ferroptosis inhibitor). ZOL also had an obvious effect on lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which suggested that ZOL most certain ly induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma cells. In addition, we further found that ZOL increases cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) expression dose dependently in osteosarcoma cell lines. Knockdown of POR attenuated ZOL-induced cytotoxicity and attenuated the effect of ferroptosis in osteo...

Comparison of the Efficacy of Zoledronate Acid or Denosumab After Switching from Romosozumab in Japanese Postmenopausal Patients
AbstractWe aimed to compare the efficacy of switching from romosozumab (RMAb) to denosumab (DMAb) or zoledronic acid (Zol) with respect to changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism. We also aimed to determine predictors of changes in BMD among patients who received sequential therapy from RMAb. One hundred patients who received RMAb therapy were recruited for this study. A total 49 patients received bisphosphonate (BP) pre-treatment and 51 received active vitamin D3 analog pre-treatment or no treatment. Forty-two patients were switched to Zol (BP –RMAb–Zol; 20 and RMAb–Zol; 22), and 58 patients were s...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 2211: The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Palbociclib Inhibits Estrogen-Positive and Triple Negative Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis In Vivo
li Ingunn Holen CDK 4/6 inhibitors have demonstrated significant improved survival for patients with estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer (BC). However, the ability of these promising agents to inhibit bone metastasis from either ER+ve or triple negative BC (TNBC) remains to be established. We therefore investigated the effects of the CDK 4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, using in vivo models of breast cancer bone metastasis. In an ER+ve T47D model of spontaneous breast cancer metastasis from the mammary fat pad to bone, primary tumour growth and the number of hind limb skeletal tumours were significantly lower in...

Zoledronic acid affects the process of Porphyromonas gingivalis infecting oral mucosal epithelial barrier: An in-vivo and in-vitro study
This study aimed to investigate the influences of ZA on the process of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) infecting the gingival epithelial barrier via in-vitro and in-vivo experiments. In the in-vitro experiments, under the condition of different concentrations of ZA (0, 1, 10, and 100 μM), P. gingivalis was used to infect human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs). The infections were detected by transmission electron microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope. Besides, the internalization assay was applied to quantify the P. gingivalis, which infected the HGECs, in the different groups. To evaluate the expres...

A Bone ‐Penetrating Precise Controllable Drug Release System Enables Localized Treatment of Osteoporotic Fracture Prevention via Modulating Osteoblast‐Osteoclast Communication
In this study, a featured radial extracorporeal shock wave (rESW) responsive nano-drug delivery system (NDDS) is developed for local treatment. Based on a mechanic simulation, a sequence of hollow zoledronic acid (ZOL)-contained nanoparticles (HZNs) with controllable shell thickness that predicts various mechanical responsive properties is constructed by controlling the deposition time of ZOL and Ca2+ on liposome templates. Attributed to the controllable shell thickness, the fragmentation of HZNs and the release of ZOL and Ca2+ can be precisely controlled with the intervention of rESW. Furthermore, the distinct effect of H...

The role of semaphorin 4D in the mechanism of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in rats
CONCLUSIONS: BPs can interfere with normal bone healing time by up-regulating the expression of Sema4D in tissues, leading to coupling disorder between osteoclasts and osteoblasts with inhibition of the maturation of osteoclasts, thereby inhibiting the growth of osteoblasts. Differentiation and expression of related osteogenic factors mediate the development of BRONJ.PMID:36970799 (Source: Shanghai Journal of Stomatology)
