Osteoclast profile of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw secondary to bisphosphonate therapy: a comparison with osteoradionecrosis and osteomyelitis

Abstract: BackgroundThe medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw secondary to bisphosphonate therapy [MRONJ (BP)] is characterized by non-healing exposed bone in the maxillofacial region. The pathogenesis of MRONJ (BP) is not fully understood. Giant, hypernucleated, inactive osteoclasts were found in MRONJ (BP) tissues, which indicated that accelerated cell–cell fusion might play a role. Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) is associated with the cell–cell fusion of osteoclasts and precursor cells… Show more

“…As expected, ZA group presented a decreased number of Total TRAP+ OC's compared to the Control, as observed in other animal models [60] and humans [64]. The majority of TRAP+ OC's in ZA samples were detached from the bone matrix which resembled MRONJ characteristics in senescent rats [61] and human biopsies [64]. Additionally, an increased quantity of empty lacunae was found in the ZA E site compared to Control E site ( Fig.…”

“…The functional role of TLR-4 in the denosumab-induced macrophage phenotype and the therapeutic value of TLR-4 in ONJ development need further evaluation. Additionally, it has been reported that ZA inhibited osteoclastogenesis and then led to BRONJ development (45), whereas BRONJ and osteomyelitis are different in osteoclast histologic differentiation (46). Studies showed that M1 macrophages could down-regulate osteoclastogenesis (47), and conversely, osteoclast-related fusion protein may decrease M1 macrophage polarization (48).…”

“…The numbers of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts showed no difference between Stat5a -/- and wild-type specimens (Supplementary Figures S5a and b ). Next, multinuclear osteoclasts were identified in fractured femoral H&E section 28 , 29 . At 2 weeks post-fracture, the number of multinuclear osteoclasts were higher in Stat5a -/- mice than wild-type.…”
