Brain-type creatine kinase (CK-BB) increases during osteoclastogenesis, with high circulating amounts in type I osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) following treatment with neridronate, a bisphosphonate able to inhibit osteoclast activity and survival. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the correlation between osteoclastogenesis and CK-BB release from OI patients’ osteoclasts treated with different concentrations of neridronate. Our patients showed reduced bone quality, increased levels of CTX I, a marker of bone resorption, and decreased levels of OPG, an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis. In OI patients, the presence of MCSF and RANKL determined an increased secretion of CK-BB from osteoclasts (p = 0.04) compared with control conditions without these cytokines; interestingly, in the absence of these factors, the secretion of CK-BB is significantly elevated at 3 µmol/L compared with 0.03 and 1 µmol/L (p = 0.007).

Consistently, in osteoclast cultures, neridronate treatment is associated with a decrease in multinucleated TRAP+ cells, together with morphology changes typical of apoptosis. Consistently, in the media of the same osteoclast cultures, we demonstrated a significant increase in caspase-3 levels. In conclusion, our findings support the idea that CK-BB levels increase in the serum of OI-treated patients.

Abstract

Brain-type creatine kinase (CK-BB) increases during osteoclastogenesis, with high circulating amounts in type I osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) following treatment with neridronate, a bisphosphonate able to inhibit osteoclast activity and survival. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the correlation between osteoclastogenesis and CK-BB release from OI patients’ osteoclasts treated with different concentrations of neridronate. Our patients showed reduced bone quality, increased levels of CTX I, a marker of bone resorption, and decreased levels of OPG, an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis. In OI patients, the presence of MCSF and RANKL determined an increased secretion of CK-BB from osteoclasts (p = 0.04) compared with control conditions without these cytokines; interestingly, in the absence of these factors, the secretion of CK-BB is significantly elevated at 3 µmol/L compared with 0.03 and 1 µmol/L (p = 0.007). In healthy donors’ cultures, the higher concentration of CK-BB can be detected following stimulation with 3 µmol/L neridronate compared with the untreated condition both with and without MCSF and RANKL (p = 0.03 and p = 0.006, respectively). Consistently, in osteoclast cultures, neridronate treatment is associated with a decrease in multinucleated TRAP+ cells, together with morphology changes typical of apoptosis. Consistently, in the media of the same osteoclast cultures, we demonstrated a significant increase in caspase-3 levels. In conclusion, our findings support the idea that CK-BB levels increase in the serum of OI-treated patients.
