Combination therapy with bisphosphonates and vitamin D3 analogs has been frequently used for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, its effects on bone anisotropies, such as orientations of collagen and apatite at the nanometer-scale, which is a promising bone quality index, and its trabecular architecture at the micrometer scale, are not well understood despite its important mechanical properties and its role in fracture risk. In the present study, we analyzed the effects of ibandronate (IBN), eldecalcitol (ELD), and their combination on the collagen/apatite orientation and trabecular architectural anisotropy using an estrogen-deficiency-induced osteoporotic rat model. Estrogen deficiency caused by ovariectomy (OVX) excessively increased the degree of collagen/apatite orientation or trabecular architectural anisotropy along the craniocaudal axis in the lumbar vertebra compared to that of the sham-operated group. The craniocaudal axis corresponds to the direction of principal stress in the spine. The excessive material anisotropy in the craniocaudal axis contributed to the enhanced Young's modulus, which may compensate for the reduced mechanical resistance by bone loss to some extent. The solo administration of IBN and ELD prevented the reduction of bone fraction (BV/TV) determined by μ-CT, and combination therapy showed the highest efficacy in BV/TV gain. Furthermore, the solo administration and combination treatment significantly decreased the degree of collagen/apatite orientation to the sham level. Based on the results of bone mass and collagen/apatite orientation, combination treatment is an effective strategy. This is the first report to demonstrate the efficacy of IBN, ELD, and combination treatment with IBN and ELD relative to the bone micro-architectural anisotropy characterized by collagen/apatite orientation.
