Interleukin-6 and the acute phase response during treatment of patients with paget's disease with the nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate dimethylaminohydroxypropylidene bisphosphonate

Abstract: Bisphosphonates suppress bone resorption and are used in the management of bone diseases with increasing frequency. In some patients treated for the first time with potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, there is a transient febrile reaction and transient hematological changes suggestive of an acute phase response. Because IL-6 is considered to be an important mediator of the acute phase response, we examined the changes in circulating IL-6 bioactivity in 38 patients with Paget's disease treated with the … Show more

“…In contrast, another study has demonstrated that zoledronate did not reduce the population of osteoclast precursor after 18 months of treatment in osteopenic women, (27) There are also conflicting in vitro data regarding the effect of bisphosphonates on osteoclastogenic cytokines such as IL-1, TNF and circulating levels of RANKL and osteoprotegerin (OPG) (28)(29)(30)(31)). RANKL is produced by the osteoblasts and binds to the receptor RANK which is located on the osteoclast precursor cells as well as the mature osteoclast (32).…”

“…(1)(2)(3) The fever was noted to be associated with a fall in circulating lymphocyte number (1,4) and increases in circulating IL-6 (4) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) (4)(5)(6) but not interleukin (IL)-1. (6) This is referred as the acute phase response (APR).…”

“…Внутривен-ный путь введения препарата является альтернативой для пациенток, слабо приверженных лечению пероральными бисфосфонатами, а также при наличии заболеваний верхних отделов желудочно-кишечного тракта. Но использование внутривенных форм БФ часто ассоциировано с развитием симптомов реакции острой фазы [4,11,12].…”
