In bone, ZOL prevented osteoporotic changes and tumour cell invasion produced a significant decrease in RANK and an increase in OPG expressions, alongside improved bone mineral density in CT scans. ZOL could be a promising preventive therapy against colitis-induced cancer and associated OP via modulation expression of SNHG16, miRNA-146a, and TRAF6.
Our findings suggest that ALN augments TLR2 ligand-induced proinflammatory cytokine production via the upregulation of MyD88 expression, and this augmentation is accompanied by the activation of NF-κB and AP-1 in RAW-ASC cells.
Following 14-days ex vivo expansion with zoledronic acid and interleukin (IL)-2, exercise mobilized γδ T-cells had surface phenotypes and transcriptomic profiles associated with enhanced effector functions, and demonstrated superior cytotoxic activity against multiple hematologic tumors in vitro, and in vivo in leukemia bearing xenogeneic mice...Antibody blocking of DNAM-1 on expanded γδ T-cells, as well as the DNAM-1 ligands PVR and Nectin-2 on leukemic targets, abolished the enhanced anti-leukemic effects of exercise. These findings provide a mechanistic link between exercise, β2-AR activation, and the manufacture of superior γδ T-cell products for adoptive cell therapy against hematological malignancies.
Here, we demonstrated that next-generation immunomodulators called cereblon E3 ligase modulators (CELMoDs), as well as lenalidomide and pomalidomide, expanded Th1-like Vδ2+ γδ T cells from PBMCs in the presence of zoledronic acid (ZA). ZA but not these immunomodulatory drugs upregulated BTN3A1 in monocytes. These results suggest that immunomodulatory drugs and ZA have cooperative roles in expansion of Th1-like Vδ2+ γδ T cells, and provide the important knowledge for clinical application of human Vδ2+ γδ T cells as effector cells.

Notably, bone metastasis progression of NSCLC was inhibited by moderate exercise, and combinations with zoledronic acid had additive effects. Moreover, exercise preconditioning effectively suppressed bone metastasis progression. This study significantly advances the understanding of the mechanism underlying exercise-afforded protection against bone metastasis progression.
The use of bisphosphonates in the therapeutic strategy for JO should be further explored, as should the role of bone resorption in the pathophysiology of the disease.

ZA in a dose-dependent manner prevented the pathological effect of CCl4 in the lung by targeting mevalonate pathway. It could be promising therapy against PCPF.
Zoledronic acid combined with chemotherapy can effectively treat bone metastases of NSCLC and improve pain stress and bone metabolic status, which has value that can be promoted and applied in clinical treatment.
Overall, 1 % (95 % CI 0.75-1.15) of patients experienced osteonecrosis of jaw related to zoledronic acid. Compared to the Early Breast Cancer Trialist's Collaborative Group meta-analysis, benefit from adjuvant bisphosphonates is lower in recent trials especially in higher risk patients receiving contemporary chemotherapy. The balance between benefits and risks of adjuvant bisphosphonates should be considered in individual patients.
Ibandronate sodium demonstrates a protective effect on articular chondrocytes and exhibits the potential to decelerate the pathological progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in rats. This mechanism is likely achieved through the inhibition of the TLRs/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

In addition, galectin-3 reduced the effector memory compartment of zoledronate-activated Vδ2 T cells. Therefore, our data suggest that an activation of Vδ1 T-cell proliferation as part of a T-cell-based immunotherapy can be of advantage.
The complexes studied involve four compounds: cyclosporin A (CSA), amiodarone (AMI), pamidronate (APD), and valproic acid (VPA). Furthermore, distinctive behavior was observed in the presence of active and inactive compounds, particularly in the arrangement of ATP between NBDs, supporting the proposed nucleotide sandwich dimer mechanism for ATP binding. This study provides comprehensive insights into P-gp behavior with various ligands and ATP, offering implications for drug development, toxicity assessment and demonstrating the validity of the results derived from the MD simulations.
In this study, we established a protocol for ex vivo expansion of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells from healthy donors' peripheral blood mononuclear cells by culture with zoledronate and addition of IL-2, and IL-15 or IL-18 or neither...We found that in the presence of either IL-15 or IL-18, levels of caspase 3 were significantly reduced. Also, IL-15 and IL-18 stimulated cells contained cytotoxicity against cholangiocarcinoma cells, suggesting that stimulated Vγ9Vδ2 T cells may provide a feasible therapy for cholangiocarcinoma.
ZA decreased phosphorylated ERK (pERK) levels in resistant cell lines and attenuated HER-2 signaling in tamoxifen- and fulvestrant-resistant cells. Moreover, ZA inhibited the migration and invasion in the resistant cell lines, suggesting an ability to inhibit tumor metastasis. The results indicate that ZA has potential for repurposing as an adjuvant treatment for patients with endocrine-resistant breast cancer.
Here, we express an anti-CD19 εTRuC in primary γδ T cells that were expanded using zoledronate (Zol) or concanavalin A. We show that the resulting εTRuC γδ T cells were reprogrammed to better recognize CD19-positive B cell tumors and-in case of the Zol-expanded cells-a CD19-expressing colon adenocarcinoma-derived cell line in vitro...Finally, addition of vitamin C promoted the recovery of larger γδ T cell numbers after lentiviral transduction, as used for the expression of the εTRuC. In conclusion, the generation and use of γδ εTRuC T cells might be a new approach for cancer immunotherapy.
The findings of this work highlighted ZGP's potential for intervening in the progression of breast cancer bone metastasis. Thus, this investigation served as an experimental foundation for expanding the application scope of ZGP and for advancing drug development efforts in bone metastasis treatment.
The present study demonstrated that catalpol prevents estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis by promoting osteoclast apoptosis via the Sirt6-ERα-FasL axis. These findings revealed a novel molecular mechanism underpinning the impact of catalpol in the progression of osteoporosis and provided novel insights into the treatment of osteoporosis.
We tried different electroporation procedures (X001, T007, U014, T023) and cell culture conditions (cultured in medium containing zoledronic acid (ZOL)/ IL2 for 5 days or for 10 days) to select out the optimal procedure to acquire high KO/KI efficiency and high cell proliferation rate...Interestingly, the proportion of memory phenotype (CD62L + ) in CAR-γδ T cells after being stimulated was comparable to that of CAR-γδ T cells without stimulation, indicating the potential of the great anti-tumor activity of CAR-γδ T cells after being stimulated in tumor environment (Figure 1F). Our new method successfully generated CAR-γδ T cells with a CAR expression of 20% and in a high proliferation rate, which was determined to exert effective anti-tumor effects.

The results showed that compounds 1-3 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities with dose-dependent manner range from 12.5 to 50 µmol/L. Furthermore, the inhibitory activities of compounds 1 and 2 on receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) induced osteoclast formation were tested in vitro. Compounds 1 and 2 at 5 µmol/L exhibited the significant inhibitory effect on the osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL. This work reported the anti-inflammatory and osteoclast inhibitory activities of new monoterpenoid indole hybrids, which may inspire the further light on the related traditional application research of G. elegans.
EA treatment enhanced the A2AR activity and inhibited osteoclast formation by inhibition of RANKL, RANK, TRAF6, p38α, NF-κB, and NFATc1. SCH58261 reversed the effect of EA. These results suggest that EA regulated p38α-MAPK signaling by increasing A2AR activity, which inhibited osteoclastogenesis.
MIDP, a zoledronic acid derivative, can cause the death of human colorectal cancer cells by increasing the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)...This study revealed for the first time a possible mechanism of bisphosphonate-induced increase of ROS in malignant tumor cells. This is helpful for the development of new molecular therapeutic targets and can provide new ideas for the combined therapy of bisphosphonates in tumors.
