Rivaroxaban, a direct inhibitor of the coagulation factor Xa interferes with hormonal-induced physiological modulations in human female osteoblastic cell line SaSO2
Abstract
The use of anticoagulants has been associated with systemic osteoporosis and increased risk for poor fracture healing but is inevitable following major orthopedic surgery of lower limbs. Rivaroxaban A (R) is an anticoagulant recently introduced in the clinical setting, which is a specific factor Xa inhibitor. We reported previously that R significantly inhibited cell growth, energy metabolism and alkaline phosphatase activity in human osteoblastic cell line SaOS2, with no effect on mineralization, indicating transient inhibition of bone formation. We now investigated the effects of R on SaOS2 response to osteoblast-modulating hormones. At sub-confluence cells were treated with: estradiol-17β (E2), the phytoestrogens daidzein (D) and biochainin A (BA), the carboxy-pytoestrogenic derivative carboxy-D (cD), the estrogen receptor α (ERα) agonist PPT, the estrogen receptor β (ERβ) agonist DPN, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and several vitamin D metabolites and analogs with/without R for 24h. All hormones tested stimulated significantly DNA synthesis (DNA), creatine kinase (CK) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) specific activities, but all these stimulations were totally inhibited when given together with R. R had no effect on mRNA expression of ERα, ERβ and 25 Hydroxy-vitamin D3-1α hydroxylase (1OHase), but inhibited hormonal modulations of mRNA expressions. In conclusion R inhibited significantly hormonal stimulation of different parameters indicating inhibition of not only the early…
