Abstract
PURPOSE: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and aging are each independently associated with higher fracture risk. Although CKD is highly prevalent in the aging population, the interaction between these two conditions with respect to bone structure and mechanics is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine cortical porosity and mechanical properties in skeletally mature young and aging mice with CKD. METHODS: CKD was induced by feeding 16-week and 78-week male mice 0.2% adenine (AD) for six weeks followed by two weeks of maintenance on a control diet for a total study duration of eight weeks of CKD; control (CON) animals of each age were fed a standard diet. Serum biochemistries, μCT imaging, and mechanical properties via four-point bending were assessed at the endpoint. RESULTS: Phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, and blood urea nitrogen were elevated in both ages of AD mice compared to age-matched CON; aging AD mice had PTH and BUN values higher than all other groups. Femoral cortical porosity was more than four-fold higher in aging AD mice compared to young AD mice and more than two-fold higher compared to age-matched controls. Structural and estimated material mechanical properties were both lower in aging mice, but there were no significant interactions between AD treatment and age. CONCLUSION: These data show an interaction between CKD and aging that produces a more severe biochemical and cortical bone phenotype. This highlights the importance of studying mechanisms and potential interventions in both young and aged animals to translate to a broader spectrum of CKD patients.
