Abstract
BACKGROUND: We aimed to compare the effects of bisphosphonate on the remodeling of irregular bones (the jaw and ilium) in mice after trauma. METHODS: To verify the feasibility of modeling osteonecrosis, 20 mice were injected intraperitoneally with zoledronate and dexamethasone (ZOL&DEX group), dexamethasone (DEX group), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) [control (CTR) group]. Mice then underwent extraction of the right maxillary first molar and creation of an artificial bony cavity in the ilium. Bone sections were stained with H&E for morphological studies. To further compare differences between the maxilla and the ilium caused by similar traumas, 80 mice were injected intraperitoneally with ZOL&DEX or PBS. Pathological progression at the injury sites was assessed at 1 day and at 1, 3, and 8 weeks after trauma using micro-computed tomography (CT), H&E and immunohistochemistry analyses, high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Only the ZOL&DEX model group effectively developed osteonecrosis. Bony sequestra, osseous sclerosis, unhealed mucosa, and radiopaque alveolar bone were found in the maxilla. In the ilium, there was a lower frequency of osteonecrotic disease and osseous sclerosis, and less suppression of bone remodeling than in the maxilla following long-term bisphosphonate administration. Zoledronate levels were higher in the maxilla. ZOL&DEX treatment suppressed the levels of RANKL and IL-17, but induced an upregulation of osteoprotegerin and FAM20C in both bones. CONCLUSION: Accumulation of bisphosphonate may increase the incidence of osteonecrosis. The RANKL/OPG pathway and IL-17 and FAM20C cytokines play key roles in the progression of pathologically abnormal bone remodeling.
