Abstract

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib (IMA) and nilotinib (NIL), are the cornerstone of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment via the blockade of the oncogenic BCR‑ABL1 fusion protein. However, skeletal side effects are commonly observed in pediatric patients receiving long‑term treatment with IMA. Additionally, in vitro studies have shown that IMA and NIL alter vitamin D metabolism, which may further impair bone metabolism. To determine whether TKIs directly affect bone cell function, the present study treated the human osteoblastic cell line SaOS‑2 with IMA or NIL and assessed effects on their mineralization capacity as well as mRNA expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), two cytokines that regulate osteoclastogenesis. Both TKIs significantly inhibited mineralization and downregulated osteoblast marker genes, including alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osterix, as well as genes associated with the pro‑osteogenic Wnt signaling pathway; NIL was more potent than IMA. In addition, both TKIs increased the RANKL/OPG ratio, which is known to stimulate osteoclastogenesis. The present results suggested that the TKIs IMA and NIL directly inhibited osteoblast differentiation and directly promoted a pro‑osteoclastogenic environment through the RANKL‑OPG signaling axis. Thus, we propose that future work is required to determine whether the bone health of CML patients undergoing TKI‑treatment should be routinely monitored.

Introduction

The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) imatinib (IMA) and nilotinib (NIL) have significantly improved the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), gastro-intestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and other malignant diseases. The molecular target of IMA is the oncogenic tyrosine kinase (TK) BCR-ABL1, which is necessary and sufficient to develop CML. IMA was licensed for the treatment of adults in the year 2001 (17) and without age restriction in 2003 (8). However, leukemic cells were quickly found to develop resistance or intolerance to IMA therapy (9), which led to the development of NIL (Tasigna®, Novartis, Basel, Switzerland), a second generation TKI. NIL is an aminopyrimidine-derivative based on IMA, and has an increased potency and selectivity for the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 kinase, leading to a 20- to 50-fold higher inhibitory activity in IMA-sensitive cells and 3 to 7 times higher inhibitory activity in IMA-resistant cells (10). NIL was approved for the treatment of adult patients insensitive to IMA in 2008 (11).

IMA and NIL exhibit several off-target effects on non-oncogenic TKs, such as platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) and colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R, c-FMS), which are involved in the bone remodeling cycle (12). IMA impairs bone metabolism in CML patients under prolonged treatment (1315) as demonstrated by growth retardation in up to 73% of pediatric CML patients (12). Furthermore, CML patients undergoing IMA treatment, frequently experience hypophosphatemia, which is associated with reduction in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (calcidiol) and 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) (16). Calcitriol regulates a wide variety of genes associated with bone formation, as demonstrated by the role of calcidiol in promoting mineralization and reducing osteoblast proliferation and osteoclast differentiation. In vitro studies have demonstrated that IMA and NIL interact with the vitamin D metabolism pathway by competitively inhibiting CYP27B1, the enzyme involved in hydroxylating calcidiol to its active form calcitriol (17,18). However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly defined.

Bone formation is carried out by osteoblasts producing bone matrix and mineral crystals whereas bone resorption is carried out by osteoclasts resorbing bone matrix through proteolytic enzymes and acidic dissolution of the minerals. One of the key pathways regulating osteoclastogenesis is the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) pathway. Its receptor RANK is expressed on osteoclast precursors. Upon binding of RANKL, osteoclast differentiation is initiated through the activation of specific downstream signaling pathways.

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) functions as a decoy receptor for RANKL and prevents binding of RANKL to its receptor RANK, consequently serving as a negative regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Thus, the RANKL/OPG ratio is an essential determinant of bone mass and skeletal integrity (19). Calcitriol and other hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) control the expression of RANKL. As TKIs are known to interfere with vitamin D metabolism and suppress longitudinal growth in children, we investigated whether TKIs exert direct effects on osteoblasts and the RANKL cascade in vitro.

Materials and methods

Cell culture

Human osteosarcoma cells (SaOS-2; Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, Braunschweig, Germany) were seeded at a density of 1×105 cells/cm2 and grown in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. For proliferation McCoy's 5A medium without phenol red (BioConcept, Allschwil, Switzerland) supplemented with 15% fetal bovine calf serum and 1% Penicillin and Streptomycin was used. Ten days after seeding, osteogenic differentiation was induced by growing the cells in Alpha Minimal Essential Medium supplemented with 15% fetal bovine calf serum, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 2 mM L-glutamine, 300 µM L-ascorbic acid 2-phospate (all from Sigma Aldrich, Germany) and 1% Penicillin and Streptomycin.

For hemacolor and immunofluorescence staining cells were grown in 12-well-plates on cover slips (ø 13 mm), while for RNA analyses, cells were grown in culture flasks for up to 25 days. Medium was changed 3 times a week. IMA or NIL (Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) was added to the cell culture medium at a concentration of 1 µM, respectively. After 5, 10, 15 or 25 days of incubation, mineralization capacity and the RANKL cascade were assessed.

Cell staining and microscopy

Hemacolor staining (Biomed, Oberschleißheim, Germany) was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. After staining, samples were mounted with Celltexx (Engelbrecht Medizin und Labortechnik GmbH, Edermünde, Germany). Digital images were obtained using an Axio Imager A1 (Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy

Cells were washed with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany), and stored in PBS at 4°C. All washing steps were performed twice for 10 min in PBS-T [PBS supplemented with 0.005% Tween (Serva, Heidelberg, Germany)]. Cells were stained with the following primary antibodies: RANKL mouse IgG2B, RANK mouse IgG2A and OPG mouse IgG1 (R&D, Minneapolis, USA). The respective secondary antibodies Alexa Flour® 546 Goat anti-mouse IgG2b, Alexa Flour® 488 Goat anti-mouse IgG2A and Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat ant-mouse IgG1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA) were applied for detection. The primary antibodies [dissolved in PBS supplemented with 0.001% Tween and 1% BSA (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany)] were applied at 8 µg/ml over night at 4°C. After washing the secondary antibody (diluted 1:200) was applied for 1 h. After another washing step, DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) staining was prepared at 1 µg/ml in PBS and applied for 5 min in the dark at room temperature followed by a 1 min PBS wash. Finally, the samples were mounted with Fluorescence Mounting Medium (DAKO, Jena, Germany).

Fluorescence microscopy was performed using a DeltaVision microscope system composed of softWoRx 5.5.1 software (Applied Precision, United Kingdom), Olympus IX71 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan), Cool SnapHQ camera (Photometrics, Tucson, Arizona) and Plan Apo N 60×1.4 numerical oil objective (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Cell boundaries were observed by thresholding the bright-field image and overlaying it with the fluorescence image. Z stacks with 10 focal planes were collected at 7 regions of interest for each sample and each channel (DAPI, FITC, TRITC, CY5). Analysis of images and measuring of fluorescence intensity were performed manually using Fuji software (FujiFilm, Tokyo, Japan) (20). Z projection was done using average intensity projection.

RNA isolation and quantification

RNA was extracted using the RNeasy® Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA was dissolved in 20 µl RNase-free water (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA) and concentrations were measured by an Infinite® 200 Pro plate reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). Samples with a 260/280 ratio of ≥2 were classified as pure RNA and used for further investigations.

Reverse transcription of 0.5 µg template RNA with random hexamer primers was carried out using iScript cDNA Synthesis kit (Bio-Rad Lab, Munich, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed in 20 µl reaction volumes containing 0.5 ng/µl of diluted cDNA, 10 µl of iQ SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad Lab, Munic, Germany), 0.6 µl of 10 pmol/µl forward primer, and 0.6 µl of 10 pmol/µl reverse primer. A Stratagene MX300P cycler (SABiosciences, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used with the following profile: 95°C for 3 min followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 sec, 60°C for 30 sec, and 30 sec at 72°C with one final cycle of 55°C for 1 min and 30 sec at 95°C. The results were calculated using the ΔΔCq method and presented as fold increase relative to GAPDH expression.

Statistical analysis

Statistical analyses at defined time points of incubation were performed using one-way analysis of variance and multiple comparisons were conducted using a post-hoc Bonferroni adjustment to evaluate the effects of IMA or NILtreated samples compared to untreated controls (GraphPad Prism v.6.0 software; GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). Data are presented as means ± standard deviation (SD). In all cases, P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

Results

TKIs inhibit osteoblast mineralization

SaOS-2 cells were cultured for up to 25 days in the presence of TKI [clinically effective concentration: 1 µM (24,25)] and matrix mineralization was assessed at 5 day intervals. At day 25, cultures treated with IMA exhibited 40% (a.u. 0.477±0.045; Fig. 1) less mineralization than untreated controls (a.u. 0.788±0.053; Fig. 1). This inhibitory effect was more pronounced with NIL, which reduced bone matrix by 90% (a.u. 0.081±0.01; Fig. 1).

TKIs suppress the expression of osteogenic markers and Wnt molecules in SaOS-2 cells

To study the mechanism underlying the reduced mineralization following TKI treatment, we investigated specific gene markers of osteoblastogenesis in SaOS-2 cells. After 25 days of IMA or NIL treatment, osterix (OSX) expression was significantly reduced by 3.2- and 4.9-fold, respectively compared to the control (Fig. 2). IMA and NIL also reduced the gene expression of ALP by 2.3- and 3.4-fold, respectively, although only the latter was significant (Fig. 2). We also investigated the effects of TKIs on Wnt1 and Wnt10b expression, two members of the Wnt signaling pathway, which play a key role in maintaining bone homeostasis (26). NIL had a more pronounced effect on Wnt expression than IMA. In the presence of IMA, Wnt1 and Wnt10b mRNA levels were reduced by 1.8- and 0.6-fold, respectively, although these differences were not significant. By comparison, NIL reduced Wnt1 and Wnt10b expression by 3.6-(P<0.05) and 1.2-fold, respectively.

TKIs increase RANKL/OPG ratio in osteoblasts

Finally, we investigated the expression levels of RANKL and OPG, which are involved in the coupling of bone formation and resorption. After 5 days of TKI treatment, we found no differences in RANKL or OPG gene expression levels. However, after 25 days, IMA and NIL significantly increased RANKL expression by 160 and 150%, respectively, whereas OPG expression remained unchanged compared to controls. This consequently resulted in an increased RANKL/OPG ratio in osteoblasts treated with IMA (+160%) and NIL (+150%) (Fig. 3). These findings were verified by immunofluorescence staining of SaOS-2 cells reflected by medium fluorescence intensity (MFI) data, showing an increased fluorescence signal for RANKL under IMA (control: MFI/cell 0.71±0,06; IMA: MFI/cell 1.16±0.17) and NIL treatment (NIL: MFI/cell 2.48±0.15) as well as a decreased fluorescence signal for OPG under IMA (control: MFI/cell 75.6±6.48; IMA: MFI/cell 35.4±4.82) and Nil (NIL: MFI/cell 37.4±7.16) treatment (Fig. 4).

Discussion

IMA and NIL were designed to inhibit BCR-ABL1, and emerged as powerful tools in the management of CML. However, the ATP binding domain in BCR-ABL1 that is targeted by IMA and NIL is structurally similar to other TKs, and consequently results in off-target effects. In CML patients receiving long-term IMA treatment, this has been reported to result in impaired skeletal growth. This is problematic because patients with CML need to remain on TKI therapy for longer durations to effectively eliminate all leukemic cell clones (27). Thus, for long-term safety, it is important to understand the effects of TKIs on bone remodeling.

In the current study, we report that TKI treatment decreased mineralization in osteoblastic cells, which was accompanied by decreased ALP and OSX expression. The effects on mineralization became apparent after 15 days of osteogenic induction in the presence of TKIs, but the maximal inhibitory effect was observed at day 25. Importantly, NIL inhibited osteoblastogenesis more potently than IMA. Our findings are consistent with a prior report which showed that 5 weeks of IMA treatment was associated with a significant reduction in bone mineral density in juvenile growing rats (24). We also found that both TKIs increased RANKL expression and decreased OPG levels, thereby resulting in an increased RANKL/OPG ratio. This increase in osteoclastogenic potential represents another mechanism by which TKIs may interfere with bone remodeling processes, which is consistent with prior reports by Tibullo et al (28,29). In support of these findings at the clinical level, several groups have reported adverse effects of TKIs. A concentration of 1 µM for both drugs were defined as clinically effective due to the level plasma concentration of IMA and NIL in human patients (25).

Within a few months of starting IMA treatment, adult CML patients displayed alternations in mineral metabolism (13), reduced bone formation and bone mass (30), and reduced OCN level compared to healthy controls (13).

However, the effects of TKIs on bone remain unresolved because there are several studies that have reported contradictory findings. In vitro, TKIs were reported to increase bone mineralization (28,29), OPG levels (31), and the expression of osteoblast specific genes (15,28,32). In adult and pediatric patients, reduced as well as elevated osteocalcin levels has been described (13,16,33,34) during TKI treatment. Considering these differences, it is pertinent to evaluate the design and context of these studies. There is substantial heterogeneity in choice of in vitro model system. Differences in cell lines (e.g., human vs. murine; primary cell vs. cell line; malignant vs. non-malignant) and assays may contribute to these discrepancies. Furthermore, the interpretation of clinical studies is complicated by inherent differences between adult and pediatric patients in which bone turnover varies substantially. In adult CML patients, TKI appears to promote bone formation, while in pediatric CML patients, TKI treatment decreases bone formation through growth retardation (12,35,36).

We also found that the pro-osteogenic Wnt signaling pathway were down-regulated, specifically Wnt1. Wnt signaling is a key regulator of osteoblast function and bone homeostasis. Prior studies have shown that IMA reduces β-catenin expression, the main transcription factor for canonical Wnt signaling (37). Moreover, co-treatment of IMA with Wnt inhibitors potentiated the anti-leukemic effects of IMA (38). Thus, while suppression of Wnt signaling has beneficial effects on cancer progression, bone health may be compromised in the long-term.

Taken together, our study demonstrated that TKIs IMA and NIL negatively regulate osteoblast function in vitro. Moreover, TKI treatment was associated with an elevated RANKL/OPG ratio thereby, providing a pro-osteoclastogenic environment. Considering the previously described impact of TKIs on vitamin D metabolism (17,18), which may further impair bone metabolism, patients on long-term TKI treatment should have their bone healthy regularly monitored.
