The receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway is a determining pathway in the balance between bone formation and resorption, and disruptions in this complex can affect bone metabolism.
This study analyzes the changes in RANKL, OPG, and 25(OH)D levels; the RANKL/OPG ratio; and other bone turnover markers (BTMs) from diagnosis to complete remission in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is a prospective observational cohort study, carried out at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Mexico City, including 33 patients (4-17 years) with newly diagnosed B-cell ALL. The patients were treated with the HP09 chemotherapy protocol. Children who had previously been treated with corticosteroids were excluded. A peripheral blood sample at diagnosis and remission was collected to determine the 25(OH)D and BTM concentrations.
Increased RANKL ( = 0.001) and osteocalcin ( < 0.001) levels and RANKL/OPG ratio (<0.001) and a decreased OPG level ( = 0.005) were observed at remission, predominantly in the high-risk (HR) relapse and vitamin D deficiency groups. A negative association between RANKL and OPG (r = -0.454, = 0.008) was observed.
we suggest that the RANKL/OPG ratio could serve as a bone remodeling marker in ALL patients.
核因子-κB受体激活剂(RANK)/RANK配体(RANKL)/骨保护素(OPG)通路是骨形成与骨吸收平衡的决定性通路,该复合体的破坏会影响骨代谢。
本研究分析了急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患儿从诊断到完全缓解期间RANKL、OPG和25(OH)D水平的变化;RANKL/OPG比值;以及其他骨转换标志物(BTMs)。这是一项前瞻性观察队列研究,在墨西哥城的墨西哥社会保障局进行,纳入33例(4 - 17岁)新诊断的B细胞ALL患者。患者接受HP09化疗方案治疗。排除既往接受过皮质类固醇治疗的儿童。采集诊断和缓解期的外周血样本,以测定25(OH)D和BTM浓度。
缓解期观察到RANKL( = 0.001)和骨钙素( < 0.001)水平升高、RANKL/OPG比值(<0.001)升高以及OPG水平降低( = 0.005),主要见于高危(HR)复发组和维生素D缺乏组。观察到RANKL与OPG之间呈负相关(r = -0.454, = 0.008)。
我们认为RANKL/OPG比值可作为ALL患者骨重塑的标志物。
