Various pathways of zoledronic acid against osteoclasts and bone cancer metastasis: a brief review

Abstract: Zoledronic acid (ZA) is one of the most important and effective class of anti-resorptive drug available among bisphosphonate (BP), which could effectively reduce the risk of skeletal-related events, and lead to a treatment paradigm for patients with skeletal involvement from advanced cancers. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of its anticancer effects have only recently been identified. In this review, we elaborate the detail mechanisms of ZA through inhibiting osteoclasts and cancer cells, which include… Show more

“…These metabolites prevent bone resorption by inducing osteoclast apoptosis through the inhibition of ATP-dependent enzymes [77]. Conversely, next generation nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate, ibandronate, pamidronate, risedronate and zoledronic acid) promote osteoclast apoptosis by inhibiting farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) and are considered more potent osteoclast inhibitors [78]. The administration of these agents may reduce the risk of SREs and skeletal morbidity rate.…”

“…In this study, we attempted to create a distant metastasis model of the mouse breast cancer cell line E0771 (11)(12) in the femur using a versatile C57BL/6 mouse model. We verified the usefulness of this model using bone resorption inhibitors, have been shown to be useful in a mouse model of systemic administration (13). Our second aim was to assess whether we could confirm the efficacy of the bone resorption inhibitor, making this model useful for drug therapy in bone metastases.…”

“…ZOL is a standard therapeutic agent for bone metastases and has been proposed to have direct or indirect antitumor effects in vivo (13). Furthermore, when administered as adjuvant therapy added on the standard therapy, ZOL has been shown to reduce bone metastasis in breast cancer patients with a high risk of bone metastases (22).…”

“…Therefore, osteoclast is one of the core targets for the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone-remodeling-related diseases. It is well known that ZA can lead to a stronger inhibition of osteoclasts differentiation and induces the apoptosis of osteoclasts ( Wang et al, 2020 ), while the underlying mechanism of ZA in the function of osteoclasts reminds unclear.…”
