Inflammation Is The Main Determinant of Low Bone Mineral Density in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Abstract: In children with IBD, inflammation is an important determinant of bone loss, as shown by the correlation of BMAD with serum IL-6 and with disease activity indexes as well as by the beneficial effect of IFX on bone density. Corticosteroids seem to be a less important variable in pediatric IBD-related BMD reduction than previously believed.

“…This is supported by the negative correlation between ESR/faecal calprotectin and serum PINP levels in our study and the fact that steroid-naive IBD patients may present with osteoporosis (23,24). Additionally, in active disease other factors such as nutrition or physical inactivity leading to reduced loading of the bones may also contribute to the low PINP levels (25).…”

“…Inflammatory process and GC therapy are not the only causes of low BMD, but also malabsorption and malnutrition, restriction diets (that include low vitamin D and calcium intake), hypovitaminosis D and immobilization (19,20 The IL-2 deficient mouse model of colitis is known to develop both osteopenia and colitis, but low bone mass does not occur in T-cell deficient rats, indicating the central role of activated T-cells in bone loss in IBD models (22). High levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-11, IL-17, TGF-α, epidermal growth factor, and prostaglandin E2) are detected in the gut mucosa and in the peripheral blood of IBD patients (18,19).…”

The main cytokine appears to be IL-6, which displayed a serum concentration negatively correlated with BMD (19).…”

“…Cytokines are connected with the increased resorption of the bone tissue and the inhibition of osteogenesis [32]. A negative correlation was observed between bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) among children assessed by means of volumetric methods, with the concentration of pro-inflammatory Il 6 and the activity of the disease assessed in the point-based scale, as well as the improvement in the scope of BMAD among patients subject to the biological treatment [33]. Steroids were not very significant in lowering BMAD, maybe because of the fact that the pediatric population which was examined had the disease for an approximately short time and had an approximately low accumulated dose of GCs.…”

“…Steroids were not very significant in lowering BMAD, maybe because of the fact that the pediatric population which was examined had the disease for an approximately short time and had an approximately low accumulated dose of GCs. In the context of such restrictions, the beneficial anti-inflammatory influence of GCs on the bone metabolism exceeded known general negative influence on bones [33].…”
