The aminobisphosphonate zoledronic acid (ZA) is a bone seeking specific inhibitor of protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, which causes inhibition of osteoclast function and apoptosis. It is widely used as an osteoclast targeted antiresorptive treatment of metastatic bone disease, Paget's disease and osteoporosis. Mesenchymal stein cells (MSC) and osteoblast precursors can also be targets of bisphosphonates, but the clinical relevance of these effects is under debate. We show here that ZA in vitro causes inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis in hMSC, when applied in concentrations of 20 and 50 mu M for more than 24 h which can be rescued by treatment with 10 mu M geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). However, pulse Stimulation for 3 and 6 h with these concentrations and subsequent culture for LIP to 2 weeks under osteogenic conditions exerts Sustained regulation of osteogenic marker genes in hMSC. The effect on gene regulation translates into marked enhancement of mineralization, as shown by alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining after 4 weeks of osteogenic culture. ZA, when applied as a pulse stimulus, might therefore also stimulate osteogenic differentiation in vivo, since mu M plasma concentrations can be achieved by intravenous application of 5 mg in patients. These data set the stage for the future dissection of the effects of ZA and other aminobisphosphonates on cells beyond osteoclasts, with respect to cell differentiation in benign metabolic and to antitumor efficacy in metastatic bone diseases, as well as adverse events due to Putative Substance accumulation in bone during long-term treatment.
