ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
One factor that can contribute to severe bone loss after transplantation is the direct action of immunosuppressants on bone cells. The aim of this work was to study the effects of cyclosporine (CsA), tacrolimus (FK-506), and rapamycin (RAPA) on the release of three local factors directly implicated in bone-remodeling regulation and apoptosis of human osteoblasts interleukin (IL)-6, osteoprotegerin, and receptor activator of nuclear factor κß (RANKL). BASIC PROCEDURES Human osteoblasts were obtained from five different patients who underwent orthopedic surgery. These cells were treated with what are considered to be a clinically high dose and an acceptable dose of each immunosuppressant-RAPA 50 ng/mL and 12 ng/mL, FK-506 20 ng/mL and 5 ng/mL, CsA 1000 ng/mL and 250 ng/mL-or vehicle. Apoptotic cell death was quantified using flow cytometry of DNA content in permeabilized, propidium iodide-stained cells. IL-6 was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Quantikine Human IL6, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn, United States). Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of osteoprotegerin, RANKL, and IL-6 was measured using quantitative RT-PCR. MAINFINDINGS:
A significant increase in IL-6 (mRNA and released protein) was observed in the presence of FK-506 and RAPA. Addition of RAPA to the cultures of osteoblasts produced a significant increase in the OPG/RANKL ratio. A significant increase in osteoblast apoptosis was observed in the cells treated with FK-506 and RAPA 24 hours after the addition of immunosuppressants. CsA did not produce any significant changes in osteoblasts. PRINCIPALCONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest that an increase in osteoblast apoptosis by osteoblasts may be one of the mechanisms by which bone loss occurs after RAPA and FK-506 treatments.
