Rapid and extensive sublesional bone loss after spinal cord injury (SCI) is a difficult medical problem that has been refractory to available interventions except the antiresorptive agent denosumab (DMAB). While DMAB has shown some efficacy in inhibiting bone loss, its concurrent inhibition of bone formation limits its use. Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)-15 is expressed on the cell surface of mature osteoclasts. Anti-Siglec-15 antibody (Ab) has been shown to inhibit osteoclast maturation and bone resorption while maintaining osteoblast activity, which is distinct from current antiresorptive agents that inhibit the activity of both osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The goal of the present study is to test a Siglec-15 Ab (NP159) as a new treatment option to prevent bone loss in an acute SCI model. To this end, 4-month-old male Wistar rats underwent complete spinal cord transection and were treated with either vehicle or NP159 at 20 mg/kg once every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. SCI results in significant decreases in bone mineral density (BMD, -18.7%), trabecular bone volume (-43.1%), trabecular connectivity (-59.7%), and bone stiffness (-76.3%) at the distal femur. Treatment with NP159 almost completely prevents the aforementioned deterioration of bone after SCI. Blood and histomorphometric analyses revealed that NP159 is able to greatly inhibit bone resorption while maintaining bone formation after acute SCI. In ex vivo cultures of bone marrow cells, NP159 reduces osteoclastogenesis while increasing osteoblastogenesis. In summary, treatment with NP159 almost fully prevents sublesional loss of BMD and metaphysis trabecular bone volume and preserves bone strength in a rat model of acute SCI. Because of its unique ability to reduce osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption while promoting osteoblastogenesis to maintain bone formation, Siglec-15 Ab may hold greater promise as a therapeutic agent, compared with the exclusively antiresorptive or anabolic agents that are currently used, in mitigating the striking bone loss that occurs after SCI or other conditions associated with severe immobilization. © 2023 The Authors. <i>JBMR Plus</i> published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
