dc.description.abstractChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with abnormalities in bone quantity and quality leading to increased fractures. Recent studies suggest abnormalities of Wnt signaling in animal models of CKD and elevated sclerostin levels in patients with CKD. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-sclerostin antibody treatment in an animal model of progressive CKD with low and high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Cy/+ male rats (CKD) were treated without or with calcium in the drinking water at 25 weeks of age to stratify the animals into high PTH and low PTH groups, respectively, by 30 weeks. Animals were then treated with anti-sclerostin antibody at 100 mg/kg IV weekly for 5 doses, a single 20 ug/kg subcutaneous dose of zoledronic acid, or no treatment and sacrificed at 35 weeks. As a positive control, the efficacy of anti-sclerostin antibody treatment was also evaluated in normal littermates. The results demonstrated that the CKD animals with high PTH had lower calcium, higher phosphorus, and lower FGF23 compared to the CKD animals with low PTH. Treatment with anti-sclerostin Ab had no effect on any of the biochemistries, while zoledronic acid lowered dkk-1 levels. The anti-sclerostin antibody increased trabecular BV/TV., trabecular mineralization surface, in animals with low, but not high, PTH. Neither anti-sclerostin antibody nor zoledronic acid improved biomechanical properties in the animals. Cortical porosity was severe in high PTH animals and unaffected by either treatment. In contrast, in normal animals treated with anti-sclerostin antibody, there was an improvement in bone volume, cortical geometry, and biomechanical properties. In summary, this is the first study to test the efficacy of anti-sclerostin Ab treatment on animals with advanced CKD. We found efficacy in improving bone properties only when the PTH levels were low.en_US
