This study aimed to examine if feeding lactating mice a calcium-insufficient diet while simultaneously administering alendronate (ALN) could potentially induce osteocytic osteolysis.Lactating mice were fed calcium (Ca)-insufficient diets with or without ALN administration, and then their femurs were examined for TRAP and ALP, and observed by Kossa staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mice that had been fed a Ca-insufficient diet were then fed aMice fed a Ca-insufficient diet had a reduced number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts after ALN administration. ALN-treated, lactating mice fed a Ca-insufficient diet had enlarged lacunae in their cortical bones, and TEM imaging demonstrated expanded regions between osteocytes and lacunar walls. In ALN-treated lactating mice fed a Ca-insufficient diet, huge areas of demineralized bone matrix occurred, centered around blood vessels in the cortical bone. Isotope microscopy showedBone demineralization likely takes place in the periphery of the osteocytic lacunae and in the broad regions around the blood vessels of lactating mice when they are exposed to severely reduced serum Ca through a Ca-insufficient diet coupled with ALN administration. |
