Targeting the p62-ZZ/N-End Rule Pathway in Multiple Myeloma Overcomes Proteasome Inhibitor-Resistance Via Induction of Necroptosis and Enhances the Bone Anabolic Effects of Proteasome Inhibitors (Hall B, Level 2 (Orange County Convention Center)) - Nov 7, 2019 - Abstract #ASH2019ASH_6137; Current treatments for MMBD, such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, target bone destruction but do not result in new bone formation...To test this hypothesis, we first exposed normal OBs to different doses of bortezomib (Btz) or XRK3F2 or their combination...In addition, targeting the p62-ZZ in OBs potentiates the bone anabolic action of PIs and reverses the persistent OB suppression induced by MM cells to allow bone formation. Thus, p62-ZZ plays a critical role in MM and bone cells and identifies p62-ZZ as an important molecular target for the treatment of MMBD.

Mature Osteoblasts Promote Multiple Myeloma Survival through Cell-Cell Contact and Immune Modulation Mechanisms (Hall B, Level 2 (Orange County Convention Center)) - Nov 7, 2019 - Abstract #ASH2019ASH_2645; Taken together, using in vivo and in vitro models, we show that mature osteoblasts may have a negative regulatory impact on MM cells through cell-cell communication or immunomodulatory mechanisms. Expanding the osteoblast niche may provide novel therapeutic avenues to reduce disease burden and create an environment for long term tumor control.

Journal: Effects of bone remodeling agents following teriparatide treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 26, 2019 Patients who elected to discontinue osteoporosis treatment experienced a significant decline in the change in BMD compared to the change on teriparatide putting them at higher risk for recurrence of fragility fractures. Patients on denosumab following teriparatide had the largest increase in BMD.

Underscoring this electrolyte disorder of this syndrome may better allow future clinicians to recognize hypomagnesemia in the setting of a non-anion gap metabolic acidosis and perhaps be considered as a diagnostic entity.
