Raloxifene/Vitamin D Combination Therapy vs. Raloxifene Monotherapy on Serum 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin D Level among Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis or Osteopenia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We compared the efficacy of a fixed dose combination of raloxifene 60 mg/vitamin D 800 IU to raloxifene 60 mg alone on vitamin D status, as indicated by change in serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25[OH]D) levels.

Methods

In this 16-week, open-label, randomized, active controlled, multicenter clinical trial conducted in 4 university-affiliated hospitals in Korea, postmenopausal women aged 55 to 70 years with osteoporosis or osteopenia were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive raloxifene 60 mg/cholecalciferol 800 IU combination therapy or raloxifene 60 mg monotherapy. Primary endpoint was change in serum 25(OH)D level from baseline to 16 weeks after the intervention.

Results

A total of 96 participants were randomly assigned to raloxifene/vitamin D combination therapy (N=49) and raloxifene monotherapy (N=47) groups. At week 16, serum 25(OH)D level increased from baseline, only in the raloxifene/vitamin D combination therapy group. Change in serum 25(OH)D level from baseline to week 16 was higher in the raloxifene/vitamin D combination therapy group (2.7±6.5 ng/mL) than in the raloxifene monotherapy (-1.7±6.2 ng/mL; P=0.0034) group. Proportions and number of adverse events (AEs) categorized by the System-Organ Class were not different between the groups. There was only one severe AE case (spondylolisthesis; raloxifene/vitamin D group), unlikely to be related to trial intervention.

Conclusions

Among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia, a fixed dose combination of raloxifene 60 mg/vitamin D 800 IU showed superior efficacy in elevating serum 25(OH)D levels compared with raloxifene 60 mg alone during 16 weeks of follow-up. The safety of raloxifene/vitamin D combination was comparable to raloxifene alone.

Project description:ObjectiveFor the purpose of providing evidence for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia, this study retrospectively identified succinylation-modified sites and proteins in postmenopausal women, and bioinformatics analysis were performed.MethodsFrom January 2016 to June 2018, a total of 30 postmenopausal women aged from 55 to 70 years old were assigned to three groups: 10 cases with osteoporosis; 10 cases with osteopenia; and 10 cases with normal bone mass. Subsequently, the serum samples were collected from all cases for succinyl-proteome. Measures comprised label-free quantitative analysis, succinylation enrichment techniques, the liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) methods, and bioinformatics.ResultsA total of 113 succinylation sites on 35 proteins were identified based on quantitative information. The variation of the different multiple folds were more than 1.2 times as a significant increase for up-regulated and less than 1/1.2 times as a significant decrease for down-regulated. Among the quantified succinylation sites, 66 were up-regulated and 11 down-regulated in the Osteopenia/Normal comparison group, 24 were up-regulated and 44 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Osteopenia comparison group, 45 were up-regulated and 32 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Normal comparison group. Among the quantified succinylation proteins, 24 were up-regulated and 7 down-regulated in the Osteopenia/Normal comparison group, 15 were up-regulated and 20 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Osteopenia comparison group, 20 were up-regulated and 17 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Normal comparison group. The percentage of proteins differed in immune response, signaling pathway, proteolysis, lymphocyte, leukocyte, and cell activation. Four differentially expressed proteins (apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, hemoglobin subunit alpha, and haptoglobin) contained quantitative information; they were mediated with receptors, factors, mechanisms, that related to bone metabolism. Hemoglobin subunit alpha was screened for diagnosis of osteopenia.ConclusionsThe succinyl-proteome experimental data indicated that apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, hemoglobin subunit alpha, and haptoglobin were valuable for diagnosis and treatment in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Project description:Growing evidence suggests that the gut microbiota and their metabolites are associated with bone homeostasis and fragility. However, this association is limited to microbial taxonomic differences. This study aimed to explore whether gut bacterial community associations, composition, and functions are associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis. We compared the gut bacterial community composition and interactions of healthy postmenopausal women with normal bone density (n = 8) with those of postmenopausal women with osteopenia (n = 18) and osteoporosis (n = 21) through 16S rRNA sequencing coupled with network biology and statistical analyses. The results of this study showed reduced alpha diversity in patients with osteoporosis, followed by that in patients with osteopenia, then in healthy controls. Taxonomic analysis revealed that significantly enriched bacterial genera with higher abundance was observed in patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia than in healthy subjects. Additionally, a co-occurrence network revealed that, compared to healthy controls, bacterial interactions were higher in patients with osteoporosis, followed by those with osteopenia. Further, NetShift analysis showed that a higher number of bacteria drove changes in the microbial community structure of patients with osteoporosis than osteopenia. Correlation analysis revealed that most of these driver bacteria had a significant positive relationship with several significant metabolic pathways. Further, ordination analysis revealed that height and T-score were the primary variables influencing the gut microbial community structure. Taken together, this study evaluated that microbial community interaction is more important than the taxonomic differences in knowing the critical role of gut microbiota in postmenopausal women associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Additionally, the significantly enriched bacteria and functional pathways might be potential biomarkers for the prognosis and treatment of postmenopausal women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
