    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Orthopedics
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Paget's disease of bone is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling.
    • The role of trace element accumulation in bone as an etiologic factor in Paget's disease remains unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hypothesis that trace element accumulation in bone influences the etiology of Paget's disease.
    • To compare trace element concentrations in pagetoid bone versus normal bone.

    Main Methods:

    • Iliac bone samples from 11 Paget's disease cases and 11 matched controls were analyzed using emission spectrometry.
    • A secondary analysis using atomic absorption spectrometry was performed on an additional 10 case/control pairs and the original 11 pairs, focusing on lead, barium, and strontium.

    Main Results:

    • Lead concentrations were significantly lower in pagetoid bone compared to normal bone from both cases and controls.
    • Barium levels were also lower in diseased bone when results from both analyses were combined.
    • Normal bone from Paget's disease cases exhibited lower lead levels than normal bone from controls, suggesting a systemic abnormality in lead distribution.

    Conclusions:

    • The study found lower, not higher, lead levels in Paget's disease bone, challenging the hypothesis of accumulation as an etiologic factor.
    • Evidence suggests an intrinsic abnormality in lead distribution within the skeleton of individuals with Paget's disease.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the precise role of trace elements in Paget's disease pathogenesis.
