Elevated serum levels of creatine kinase BB in autosomal dominant osteopetrosis Type II — a family study

Abstract: A markedly elevated BB isoenzyme fraction of serum creatine kinase was noted in four male siblings and correlated with typical radiographic findings of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis Type II (ADO Type II). Patients with other sclerosing bone diseases had no elevation of CK‐BB. The precision of the electrophoretic mobility patterns and correlation by I‐125 tagged radioimmunoassay method confirms that this is CK‐BB. We postulate that the dysfunctional and/or immature osteoclasts in ADO are more dependent on CK… Show more

“…Of interest, at basal level (t 0 ), we found an inverse correlation between serum Ckbb and CTx, a biochemical parameter considered a reliable indicator of in vivo osteoclast activity representing one of the end products of bone matrix resorption. This result reinforces the hypothesis that the determination of serum Ckbb could be considered as a new molecular target for osteoclast failure (10,11). Nevertheless, after the first infusion, no significant correlation was still present between these two parameters.…”

“…This patient had a normal serum Ckbb when he was reevaluated 6 y later, showing that his osteoclasts resumed functioning (18). These findings suggest that elevated serum Ckbb reflects a fundamental disturbance in osteoclast biology, so that the authors proposed it as a potential marker of osteoclast failure although the mechanisms involved remain unclear (10,11).…”

“…In humans, elevation of serum levels of Ckb has been found in patients with type 2 autosomal dominant osteopetrosis. The patients have increased osteoclasts without any bone resorption activity (35,36). The present studies determined the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of Ckb in osteoclasts, which may shed light on a molecular mechanism of the elevation in serum levels of Ckb in these osteopetrosis patients with increased osteoclasts.…”
