Περίληψη:
Zoledronic acid (ZOL), a third-generation aminobisphosphonate, showed pronounced antifracture efficacy in a phase III clinical trial [Health Outcomes and Reduced Incidence with Zoledronic Acid Once YearlyâPivotal Fracture Trial (HORIZON-PFT)] when administered yearly (5-mg infusions of ZOL), producing significant reductions in morphometric vertebral, clinical vertebral, hip, and nonvertebral fractures by 70%, 77%, 41%, and 25%, respectively, over a 3-year period. The purpose of this study was to analyze the biopsies obtained during the HORIZON clinical trial (152 patients, 82 ZOL and 70 placebo) by means of Raman microspectroscopy (a vibrational spectroscopic technique capable of analyzing undecalcified bone tissue with a spatial resolution of approximately 0.6 Âμm) to determine the effect of ZOL therapy on bone material properties (in particular mineral/matrix ratio, lamellar organization, carbonate and proteoglycan (based on spectral identification of glycosaminoglycan) content, and mineral maturity/crystallinity) at similar tissue age (based on the presence of tetracycline double labels). The results indicated that while ZOL administration increased the mineral/matrix ratio compared with placebo, it also resulted in mineral crystallites with a quality profile (based on carbonate content and maturity/crystallinity characteristics) of younger (with respect to tissue age) bone. Since the comparisons between ZOL- and placebo-treated patients were performed at similar tissue age at actively forming bone surfaces, these results suggest that ZOL may be exerting an effect on bone matrix formation in addition to its well-established antiresorptive effect, thereby contributing to its antifracture efficacy. © 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
