Previous studies have shown that immunoassay of urinary NTx (cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen) provides a responsive index of human bone resorption. Here we report by a sensitive immunoassay that NTx is present in serum and is suppressed appropriately in patients with Paget disease of bone by bisphosphonate antiresorptive therapy. The monoclonal antibody (1H11) developed against urinary NTx was applied in a sensitive chemiluminescence format. Results for human serum and urine showed parallel inhibition curves. The NTx concentrations in paired serum and urine samples from individual patients correlated well when urinary concentrations were normalized to creatinine concentrations (in premenopausal and postmenopausal women and Paget disease patients, r = 0.90, n = 60). The percentage of NTx suppression from baseline values for Paget disease patients on bisphosphonate therapy was similar for serum and urine. Blood samples drawn from bone marrow at the site of Pagetic lesions in three patients with active disease had as much as 10-fold higher concentrations of NTx than did peripheral blood samples drawn at the same time. The latter finding is consistent with other evidence showing that immunoreactive NTx originates directly during the proteolytic cleavage of bone collagen by osteoclasts rather than, e.g., by degradative processes occurring later in the liver and kidney.
