Abstract

Abaloparatide (ABL) is a novel 34-amino acid peptide analog of parathyroid hormone-related protein. In clinical studies, although ABL showed a greater bone mineral density (BMD) increase than teriparatide (TPTD, human parathyroid hormone 1-34), the responses of ABL to bone formation and resorption markers were weaker, making it difficult to understand the relationship between the bone anabolic window (increase in bone formation versus resorption) and bone mass. In the present study, the effects of ABL and TPTD were compared in mice. Given that the rate of bone turnover is higher in rodents than in humans, the comparison was made with several administration regimens providing equivalent daily dosages: once daily (QD, 30 μg/kg every 24 h), twice daily (BID, 15 μg/kg every 12 h), or three times a day (TID, 10 μg/kg every 8 h). Frequent administration of ABL showed higher BMD with enhancement of trabecular and cortical bone mass and structures than that of TPTD, consistent with the clinical results seen with once daily administration. ABL increased bone formation marker levels more than TPTD with more frequent regimens, while bone resorption marker levels were not different between ABL and TPTD in all regimens. Analysis of bone histomorphometry and gene expression also suggested that ABL increased bone formation more than TPTD, while the effect on bone resorption was almost comparable between ABL and TPTD. The bone anabolic windows calculated from bone turnover markers indicated that ABL enhanced the anabolic windows more than TPTD, leading to a robust increase in BMD. The mechanism by which ABL showed a better balance of bone turnover was suggested to be partly due to the enhanced remodeling-based bone formation involved in Ephb4. Taken together, our findings would help elucidate the mechanism by which ABL shows excellent BMD gain and reduction of fractures in patients with osteoporosis.

  • BLCs can react to PTH exposure by quickly reverting to osteoblasts and thus expand the osteoblastic pool to fill resorption lacunae.

    “For example, BLCs can react to PTH exposure by quickly reverting to osteoblasts and thus expand the osteoblastic pool258 to fill resorption lacunae, similar to process in the “anabolic window” after teriparatide and abaloparatide administration.259”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
