Abstract :

OBJECTIVES: Donepezil inhibits the acetylcholine degradation molecule acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Clinical studies reported that Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with hip fractures had improved bone quality and better fracture healing if they were treated with AD medication donepezil. We asked whether mesenchymal stroma cells (MSC) from an osteoporosis sheep model treated with donepezil increased their proliferation rate and mRNA expression. METHODS: Sheep were divided into 4 groups: a) untreated control group, b) sheep with bilateral ovariectomy (OVX), c) sheep with OVX and malnutrition, and d) sheep with OVX, malnutrition, and application of corticosteroid. After 8 months MSC were isolated of iliac crest biopsy, treated with donepezil, and AChE activity, proliferation rate, and mRNA expression were analyzed. RESULTS: Application of donepezil resulted in a significant decrease of AChE activity. Inhibition of AChE did not lead to a significant increase in proliferation. Expression of the osteogenic marker osteocalcin was not regulated by donepezil while the mRNA concentration of collagen was increased. CONCLUSION: AChE inhibition via donepezil resulted in an increased synthesis of osteoid which consists mainly of collagen. Thus, we suppose that increased acetylcholine levels through AChE inhibition do not support MSC proliferation but osteogenic activity probably combined with osteogenic differentiation.
