Universität Wuerzburg, Wuerzburg, Germany.
Bisphosphonates are well-known inhibitors of osteoclastic bone
resorption, but recent clinical reports support the possibility of
direct or indirect antitumor effects by these compounds. Because bisphosphonates share structural homologies with recently
identified  T-cell ligands, we examined the stimulatory capacity
of bisphosphonates to  T cells and determined whether 
T-cell stimulation by bisphosphonates could be exploited to generate
antiplasma cell activity in multiple myeloma (MM). All tested
aminobisphosphonates (alendronate, ibandronate, and pamidronate)
induced significant expansion of  T cells (V 9V 2 subset) in
peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures of healthy donors at
clinically relevant concentrations (half-maximal activity, 0.9-4 µmol/L). The proliferative response of  T
cells to aminobisphosphonates was IL-2 dependent, whereas activation of  T cells (up-regulation of CD25 and CD69) occurred in the absence of exogenous cytokines. Pamidronate-activated  T
cells produced cytokines (ie, interferon [IFN]- ) and exhibited specific cytotoxicity against lymphoma (Daudi) and myeloma cell lines
(RPMI 8226, U266). Pamidronate-treated bone marrow (BM) cultures of 24 patients with MM showed significantly reduced plasma cell survival compared with untreated cultures, especially in cultures
in which activation of BM- T cells was evident (14 of 24 patients with MM).  T-cell depletion from BM cultures completely
abrogated the cytoreductive effect on myeloma cells in 2 of 3 tested
patients with MM. These results show that aminobisphosphonates stimulating  T cells have pronounced effects on the immune
system, which might contribute to the antitumor effects of these drugs.
