RESUMO
Atypical antipsychotic (AA) medications including risperidone (RIS) and olanzapine (OLAN) are FDA approved for the treatment of psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. Clinical side effects of AA medications include obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and increased cardiovascular disease risk. Despite the known pharmacology of these AA medications, the mechanisms contributing to adverse metabolic side-effects are not well understood. To evaluate drug-associated effects on the heart, we assessed changes in the cardiac proteomic signature in mice administered for 4 weeks with clinically relevant exposure of RIS or OLAN. Using proteomic and gene enrichment analysis, we identified differentially expressed (DE) proteins in both RIS- and OLAN-treated mouse hearts (p < 0.05), including proteins comprising mitochondrial respiratory complex I and pathways involved in mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation. A subset of DE proteins identified were further validated by both western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR. Histological evaluation of hearts indicated that AA-associated aberrant cardiac gene expression occurs prior to the onset of gross pathomorphological changes. Additionally, RIS treatment altered cardiac mitochondrial oxygen consumption and whole body energy expenditure. Our study provides insight into the mechanisms underlying increased patient risk for adverse cardiac outcomes with chronic treatment of AA medications.

Although the nonselective ß-blocker, propranolol, improves bone density with parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment in mice, the mechanism of this effect is unclear. To address this, we used a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to address how propranolol influences bone remodeling in the context of PTH treatment. In female C57BL/6J mice, intermittent PTH and propranolol administration had complementary effects in the trabecular bone of the distal femur and fifth lumbar vertebra (L5 ), with combination treatment achieving microarchitectural parameters beyond that of PTH alone. Combined treatment improved the serum bone formation marker, procollagen type 1 N propeptide (P1NP), but did not impact other histomorphometric parameters relating to osteoblast function at the L5 . In vitro, propranolol amplified the acute, PTH-induced, intracellular calcium signal in osteoblast-like cells. The most striking finding, however, was suppression of PTH-induced bone resorption. Despite this, PTH-induced receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL) mRNA and protein levels were unaltered by propranolol, which led us to hypothesize that propranolol could act directly on osteoclasts. Using in situ methods, we found Adrb2 expression in osteoclasts in vivo, suggesting ß-blockers may directly impact osteoclasts. Consistent with this, we found propranolol directly suppresses osteoclast differentiation in vitro. Taken together, this work suggests a strong anti-osteoclastic effect of nonselective ß-blockers in vivo, indicating that combining propranolol with PTH could be beneficial to patients with extremely low bone density. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy can induce immune responses, but not much is known regarding treatment-induced immune changes in patients. This exploratory study aimed to identify potential prognostic and predictive immune-related proteins associated with progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this prospective study, patients with stage I NSCLC treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (n = 26) and patients with stage III NSCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (n = 18) were included. Blood samples were collected before (v1), during (v2), and after RT (v3). In patients with stage I NSCLC, CD244 (HR: 10.2, 95% CI: 1.8-57.4) was identified as a negative prognostic biomarker. In patients with stage III NSCLC, CR2 and IFNGR2 were identified as positive prognostic biomarkers (CR2, HR: 0.00, 95% CI: 0.00-0.12; IFNGR2, HR: 0.04, 95% CI: 0.00-0.46). In addition, analysis of the treatment-induced changes of circulating protein levels over time (Δv2/v3-v1) also identified CXCL10 and IL-10 as negative predictive biomarkers (CXCL10, HR: 3.86, 95% CI: 1.0-14.7; IL-10, HR: 16.92 (2.74-104.36)), although serum-induced interferon (IFN) response was a positive prognostic. In conclusion, we identified several circulating immunogenic proteins that are correlated with PFS in patients with stage I and stage III NSCLC before and during treatment.
RESUMO
Osteoporosis is a debilitating and costly disease that causes fractures in 33% of women and 20% of men over the age of 50 years. Recent studies have shown that beta blocker (BB) users have higher bone mineral density (BMD) and decreased risk of fracture compared with non-users. The mechanism underlying this association is thought to be due to suppression of adrenergic signaling in osteoblasts, which leads to increased BMD in rodent models; however, the mechanism in humans is unknown. Also, several miRNAs are associated with adrenergic signaling and BMD in separate studies. To investigate potential miRNA mechanisms, we performed a cross-sectional analysis using clinical data, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, and miRNA and mRNA profiling of whole blood from the Framingham Study's Offspring Cohort. We found nine miRNAs associated with BB use and increased BMD. In parallel network analyses, we discovered a subnetwork associated with BMD and BB use containing two of these nine miRNAs, miR-19a-3p and miR-186-5p. To strengthen this finding, we showed that these two miRNAs had significantly higher expression in individuals without incident fracture compared with those with fracture in an external data set. We also noted a similar trend in association between these miRNA and Z-score as calculated from heel ultrasound measures in two external cohorts (SOS-Hip and SHIP-TREND). Because miR-19a directly targets the ADRB1 mRNA transcript, we propose BB use may downregulate ADRB1 expression in osteoblasts through increased miR-19a-3p expression. We used enrichment analysis of miRNA targets to find potential indirect effects through insulin and parathyroid hormone signaling. This analysis provides a starting point for delineating the role of miRNA on the association between BB use and BMD. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

CONTEXT: Recent studies have shown that ß-blocker (BB) users have a decreased risk of fracture and higher bone mineral density (BMD) compared to nonusers, likely due to the suppression of adrenergic signaling in osteoblasts, leading to increased BMD. There is also variability in the effect size of BB use on BMD in humans, which may be due to pharmacogenomic effects. OBJECTIVE: To investigate potential single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) associated with the effect of BB use on femoral neck BMD, we performed a cross-sectional analysis using clinical data, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and genetic data from the Framingham Heart Study's (FHS) Offspring Cohort. We then sought to validate our top 4 genetic findings using data from the Rotterdam Study, the BPROOF Study, the Malta Osteoporosis Fracture Study (MOFS), and the Hertfordshire Cohort Study. METHODS: We used sex-stratified linear mixed models to determine SNVs that had a significant interaction effect with BB use on femoral neck (FN) BMD across 11 gene regions. We also evaluated the association of our top SNVs from the FHS with microRNA (miRNA) expression in blood and identified potential miRNA-mediated mechanisms by which these SNVs may affect FN BMD. RESULTS: One variation (rs11124190 in HDAC4) was validated in females using data from the Rotterdam Study, while another (rs12414657 in ADRB1) was validated in females using data from the MOFS. We performed an exploratory meta-analysis of all 5 studies for these variations, which further validated our findings. CONCLUSION: This analysis provides a starting point for investigating the pharmacogenomic effects of BB use on BMD measures.
RESUMO
Some, but not all, prior observational studies have shown that beta blocker (BB) use is associated with lower fracture risk and higher bone mineral density (BMD). Rodent studies show the mechanism to involve the reduction in the effects of beta-adrenergic signaling on bone remodeling. Because previous studies did not have detailed information on dose, duration, and beta-1 selectivity, we examined these in a cross-sectional analysis of the association between BB use and hip and spine BMD using DXA with the Offspring Cohort of the Framingham Heart Study. The sample size was n = 1520, and 397 individuals used BBs. We used propensity score modeling to balance a comprehensive set of covariates using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to minimize bias due to treatment indication. We found significant differences in BMD between BB users and non-users for three of four BMD measurements (femoral neck: 3.1%, 95% CI, 1.1% to 5.0%; total femur: 2.9%, 95% CI, 0.9% to 4.9%; femoral trochanter: 2.4%, 95% CI, -0.1% to 5.0%; and lumbar spine: 2.7%, 95% CI, 0.2% to 5.0%). Results were found to be similar between sexes although the magnitude of association was larger for women. Similar differences were estimated for beta-1 selective and nonselective BBs compared with no BB use. We modeled dose in categories (no BB use, low-dose, high-dose) and as a continuous variable and found an increasing dose response that levels off at higher doses. Finally, associations were similar for short-term versus long-term (≤4 years versus >4 years) use. In summary, this large comprehensive study shows that BB use is associated with higher BMD in a dose-related manner regardless of beta-1 specificity and duration of use, which supports the conduct of a randomized clinical trial of BBs for achieving improvements in BMD for individuals at risk of bone loss with aging. © 2020 The Authors.
