Impaired pyridinoline cross-link formation in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta

Abstract: Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) show various degrees of bone fragility. Nevertheless, details of the mechanisms causing bone fragility remain unclear. We hypothesized that differences in pyridinoline cross-link formation at the N-and C-termini in type I collagen molecules partly contribute to bone fragility of OI. To verify this hypothesis, urinary N and C terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (uNTx and ubetaCTx, respectively) and urinary hydroxyproline (uHyp) were measured using second morning v… Show more

“…Impaired collagen cross-linking is a feature of bone in type I collagen defects as occurs in osteogenesis imperfect (29), and in senile osteoporosis, both collagen cross-linking and mineralization defects occur (30,31). Bone quality was significantly reduced in NHERF1-null bone (Fig.…”

“…Based on urinary collagen cross-link considerations, it has been reported that N-and C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen tended to be lower compared with healthy controls and that pyridinoline cross-link formation at N-and C-termini was lower in patients with OI. (80) Finally, analyses of myocardial tissue from the oim animal model showed increased pyridinoline content coupled with reduced collagen concentration. (81) In the present study, at the two older tissue ages, there were no differences either between the OI patients and healthy controls or between the two groups of OI examined, in general agreement with the previously discussed biochemically determined pyridinoline content, and as expected because these two tissue ages would closely correspond to the average tissue age when tissue homogenate is analyzed.…”

“…Based on biochemical analyses (utilizing tissue homogenate, thus no tissue age discrimination) of human and animal model tissue, it has been reported that OI type I patients exhibit increased levels of dehydrodihydroxylysinonorleucine (a divalent cross‐link precursor of pyridinoline) and hydroxylysylpyridinoline (HP), whereas lysylpyridinoline (LP) values are similar to healthy controls. Based on urinary collagen cross‐link considerations, it has been reported that N‐ and C‐terminal telopeptides of type I collagen tended to be lower compared with healthy controls and that pyridinoline cross‐link formation at N‐ and C‐termini was lower in patients with OI . Finally, analyses of myocardial tissue from the oim animal model showed increased pyridinoline content coupled with reduced collagen concentration .…”

“…As the extracellular matrix contains mostly collagen, the total space left for water between collagen molecules and mineral particles is decreased in osteogenesis imper fecta 121 , making the bone stiffer. Moreover, collagen crosslinks are altered, which is also likely to increase the brittleness of the bone tissue 122,123 .…”
