Title: Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)

Background/Purpose: Multiple myeloma is a haematologic malignancy that is characterized by osteolytic bone lesions, wherein coupled bone remodeling is disrupted with increased osteoclast activation and decreased osteoblast differentiation.  In this study, we examined the effect of adenosine on osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation derived from multiple myeloma (MM) patients.

Methods:

Human bone marrow was collected from multiple myeloma patients. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and bone marrow derived mononuclear (BMMs) cells were isolated and osteoblasts and osteoclasts were cultured, respectively. Adenosine A1 receptor agonist CHA and antagonist Rolofylline, A2a receptor agonist CGS and antagonist ZM, and A2b receptor agonist BAY and antagonist MRS 1754, A3 receptor agonist IB-MECA and antagonist MRS 1191; and dipyridamole, a nucleoside transport inhibitor, were added to the culture media. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay was used to quantitate the osteoblast differentiation. In vitro osteoblast calcification was determined by alizarin red staining. TRAP+ staining was used to examine the osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption assay was used to study the osteoclast activity. 

Results:

We found that A1R blockade by rolofylline and A2aR ligation by CGS21680 inhibited differentiation of both normal and MM BMMs into TRAP+ multinucleated cells (IC50= 1nM for A1R, IC50= 10μM for A2aR; p<0.001, n=3 for both).  The A2A receptor antagonist completely reversed the effects of CGS21680 on osteoclast differentiation.  Moreover, enhanced adenosine accumulation in the presence of dipyridamole (0.5μM) and A2bR activation promoted the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts shown by Arlizarin red staining and ALP activity assay (by 1.8 ± 0.41 and 1.57 ± 0.26 fold, respectively, p<0.05, compared with osteogenic media only, n=3 for both). 

Conclusion: These results indicate that adenosine receptors may be useful targets for the treatment and prevention of MM-induced bone disease.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
