项目摘要

Summary The aphorism “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” very much applies to postmenopausal osteoporosis. Immediately following menopause, bone loss rates can reach as high as 3-4% per year. At present, there is no acceptable way to prevent this. A good prevention strategy would abrogate the increase in bone loss without over-suppressing bone turnover and without off-target effects. Estrogen replacement therapy effectively prevents menopausal bone loss, but the Women’s Health Initiative exposed the risks of ERT and it has largely been abandoned as a preventive strategy. SERMs like ERT increase the risk of DVT. The long-term use of bisphosphonates increases the risk of atypical fracture. To address this treatment gap, we propose a bold new strategy, based on the biology of Colony Stimulating Factor 1. Colony Stimulating Factor 1 (CSF1) is the principal colony stimulating factor released by osteoblasts and, in addition to RANKL, is absolutely required for osteoclast formation. There are two major isoforms of CSF1, a membrane-bound isoform (mCSF1) and a soluble, or circulating, isoform (sCSF1). The sCSF1 isoform has a unique carboxy-terminus extension. Withdrawal of estrogen selectively up-regulates sCSF1 in osteoblasts, while mCSF1 is unchanged. Importantly, an isoform-indiscriminate neutralizing antibody to CSF1 completely prevents ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss in mice. However, blocking both isoforms of CSF1 is not a viable preventive strategy for estrogen-deficiency bone loss, because CSF1 is required for normal osteoclastogenesis. We found that selectively deleting sCSF1 in vivo causes no phenotype, does not change the basal rate of bone turnover, but protects mice against OVX-induced bone loss. These data point to sCSF1 as a novel therapeutic target to prevent estrogen-deficiency bone loss. This R21 will test the hypothesis that selective inhibition of the soluble isoform of CSF1 protects against estrogen-deficiency bone loss without affecting normal bone remodeling or bone quality. In Specific Aim 1, phage display antibody selection will be employed to rapidly develop an antibody that selectively inhibits sCSF1 by targeting the unique 73 amino acid c-terminus of that isoform. In Specific Aim 2, the dose and timing of neutralizing antibody administration that completely prevents bone loss in OVX wild type mice will first be determined using serial in vivo DXA bone density measurements in OVX wild type mice. OVX animals treated with estrogen and OVX-sCSF1-/- mice will serve as controls. Using the protocol that prevents a change in BMD from baseline, OVX and Sham-OVX wild type animals will be treated with neutralizing antibody or isotype matched control antibody for 4 weeks. Comprehensive BMD and body composition measurements, as well as ex vivo microCT, biochemical, biomechanical and histomorphometric analyses will be undertaken. To ensure adequate rigor, these studies will be performed in two different strains of mice. If successful, these studies will provide evidence for an entirely new way to prevent postmenopausal bone loss before it begins.

概括 “一分预防胜过一分治疗”这句话非常适用于绝经后骨质疏松症。目前，绝经后骨质流失率高达每年 3-4%。没有可接受的方法来预防这种情况，良好的预防策略可以消除骨质流失的增加。不会过度抑制骨转换，也不会有效地产生雌激素替代治疗的脱靶效应。预防更年期骨质流失，但妇女健康倡议暴露了 ERT 的风险，并且在很大程度上已被放弃作为一种预防策略，如 ERT 会增加 DVT 的风险。双膦酸盐会增加非典型骨折的风险，为了解决这一治疗差距，我们提出了一种大胆的新方案。基于集落刺激因子 1 生物学的策略。集落刺激因子 1 (CSF1) 是成骨细胞释放的主要集落刺激因子，在除了 RANKL 之外，CSF1 有两种主要的亚型，是破骨细胞形成所必需的。膜结合亚型 (mCSF1) 和可溶性或循环亚型 (sCSF1)。独特的羧基末端延伸，雌激素的撤除选择性上调成骨细胞中的 sCSF1，而重要的是，针对 CSF1 的异构体中和抗体完全阻止了 mCSF1 的发生。然而，阻断 CSF1 的两种亚型并不可行。雌激素缺乏性骨质流失的预防策略，因为正常破骨细胞生成需要 CSF1。我们发现体内选择性删除sCSF1不会引起表型，不会改变骨的基础率这些数据表明 sCSF1 是一种新型治疗方法。该 R21 将检验选择性抑制骨质流失的假设。 CSF1 的可溶性异构体可防止雌激素缺乏性骨质流失，而不影响正常的骨质流失在具体目标 1 中，将采用噬菌体展示抗体选择来实现骨重塑或骨质量。快速开发一种抗体，通过靶向 sCSF1 独特的 73 个氨基酸 C 端来选择性抑制 sCSF1 在具体目标 2 中，中和抗体施用的剂量和时间完全确定。预防 OVX 野生型小鼠骨质流失，首先使用系列体内 DXA 骨密度进行测定用雌激素处理的 OVX 野生型小鼠和 OVX-sCSF1-/- 小鼠的测量结果将作为使用防止 BMD 相对于基线、OVX 和 Sham-OVX 野生型动物发生变化的方案。将用中和抗体或同种型匹配对照抗体治疗 4 周。和身体成分测量，以及离体 microCT、生物化学、生物力学和为了确保足够的严谨性，将进行这些研究。如果成功的话，这些研究将为一种全新的预防方法提供证据。绝经后骨质流失开始之前。
