ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a multifaceted clinical syndrome characterized by mineral imbalances, abnormalities in bone metabolism, chronic inflammation and vascular calcification. Etelcalcetide, a second-generation intravenous calcimimetic agent, has been approved for treating high-turnover renal osteodystrophy, effectively targeting the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this condition. We investigate the impacts of etelcalcetide on osteoclast (OC) differentiation and functionality in CKD-MBD via three critical mechanisms inflammation initiated by interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), receptor-interacting protein (RIP)-mediated necroptosis and apoptosis-induced cell death. The low-dose (CKD + L) or high-dose (CKD + H) of etelcalcetide groups significantly improved biochemical markers compared to the CKD control mice. Additionally, etelcalcetide-treated CKD mice significantly improved cortical and trabecular bone parameters. In an in vitro study, etelcalcetide was observed to bolster the IRF7-mediated IFNß response in OC differentiation. Furthermore, it stimulated RIP-mediated necroptosis via RIP and MLKL activation, inhibiting bone resorption. Moreover, the drug increased levels of caspases 3 and 9, inducing cell death in OCs. These findings suggest that etelcalcetide regulates bone metabolism and reduces skeletal issues in CKD-MBD. Etelcalcetide likely enhances bone parameters in CKD-MBD mice by regulating IRF7 pathways and inhibiting OC differentiation. It also improves bone health and promotes RIP-mediated necroptosis and apoptosis pathways within OCs.
