Effects of tetracyclines on bone metabolism Vernillo AT; Rifkin BRAdv Dent Res 1998[Nov]; 12 (2): 56-62The anti-resorptive properties of tetracyclines (TCs) and their non-antimicrobial, chemically modified analogues (CMTs) have enormous therapeutic potential in medicine and dentistry. Osseous destructive diseases associated with excessive mammalian collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase) activity and collagen breakdown include malignancy, arthritis, and periodontitis. However, apart from the significant antimatrix metalloproteinase effects of TCs, TCs/CMTs are also potent inhibitors of osteoclast function (i.e., anti-resorptive). Thus, TCs can affect several parameters of osteoclast function and consequently inhibit bone resorption by (1) altering intracellular calcium concentration and interacting with the putative calcium receptor; (2) decreasing ruffled border area; (3) diminishing acid production; (4) diminishing the secretion of lysosomal cysteine proteinases (cathepsins); (5) inducing cell retraction by affecting podosomes; (6) inhibiting osteoclast gelatinase activity; (7) selectively inhibiting osteoclast ontogeny or development; and (8) inducing apoptosis or programmed cell death of osteoclasts. TCs/CMTs, as anti-resorptive drugs, may act similarly to bisphosphonates and primarily affect osteoclast function.|Animals[MESH]|Apoptosis/drug effects[MESH]|Bone Resorption/*drug therapy/metabolism[MESH]|Diphosphonates/pharmacology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Metalloendopeptidases/*antagonists & inhibitors[MESH]|Osteoclasts/*drug effects/enzymology[MESH]|Protease Inhibitors/*pharmacology[MESH]|Tetracyclines/*pharmacology[MESH] |
