Abstract | OBJECTIVE:
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NBPs), the first-choice drugs for diseases that cause enhanced bone resorption, may injure jawbones and gastrointestinal tissues. In rodents, NBPs cause necrosis at injection sites. Bisphosphonates accumulate within bones, especially where there is inflammation. We hypothesized that if jawbone-accumulated NBPs are released, they may directly injure cells around the jawbones. To examine this hypothesis, we compared the direct effects of zoledronate (NBP) and/or etidronate (non-NBP) on various cells, including periodontal cells. DESIGN: RESULTS:
Zoledronate, at 100μM, was toxic to all types of cells tested, while its toxicity varied among cells at both 1 and 10μM. There was no clear difference between tumour cells and non-tumour cells in sensitivity to the cytotoxicity of zoledronate. In contrast, etidronate was not toxic at 1-100μM in any of the cells tested. Interestingly, etidronate reduced the cytotoxicity of zoledronate in many cell-types, including gingival fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS: These results, together with those reported by others and those from our previous in vivo experiments, suggest that NBPs, upon release from jawbones (e.g., during dental surgery or bone infection), may directly injure various cells located around the jawbones, and that etidronate may be protective against the cytotoxicity of NBPs in periodontal tissues.
