Effects of risedronate on bone marrow adipocytes in postmenopausal women

Abstract: Risedronate reduces bone marrow fat in postmenopausal women. These findings are the first demonstration of an effect of bisphosphonates on marrow fat in humans in vivo. By regulating the amount of fat within the bone marrow, this effect may contribute to the beneficial effect of bisphosphonates on bone mass.

“…In women with lower than median femoral neck marrow fat content, BMD declined 1.6 %, compared with 4.7 % in those with higher than median marrow fat content. Other longitudinal studies show that marrow fat decreases with osteoporosis treatments, such as transdermal estrogen [21] and risedronate [22], providing additional support for an inverse relationship between marrow fat and bone. Marrow fat also correlates with prevalent fracture [19], independent of BMD [23••, 24], suggesting that marrow fat relates not only to bone mass but also to additional contributors to skeletal strength.…”

“…Intriguingly, a number of antiresorptive and anabolic drugs that increase bone mass also exhibit a general inverse relationship with bone marrow fat [97102]. For example, despite the therapeutic benefits of bisphosphonates being directed toward osteoclast inhibition, certain drugs within this class, including residronate and zoledronic acid, suppress bone marrow fat [9799]. In addition, anabolic agents that target osteoblast development/function have also been shown to reduce marrow fat formation [100102].…”

“…Transiliac biopsies of premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis or osteopenia revealed more numerous, voluminous marrow adipocytes compared to controls, although only controls had the expected positive correlation of MAT and age and negative correlations of MAT, bone formation and bone volume. (25) A recent study in the AGES-Reykjavik cohort found that higher MAT was negatively related to trabecular BMD measured by QCT in women, and positively related to existing vertebral fractures in men. (18)Both osteoporosis and osteopenia were associated with a lower proportion of unsaturated lipid, as assessed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS).…”
