Role of HCV in Fracture Risk of HIV Patients
• HIV and HAART initiation increase fracture risk
• HCV co-infection is a significant risk factor for osteoporotic
fractures in several cohorts of HIV-infected patients:
– ANRS CO8 APROCO-COPILOTE cohort: HR: 3.6 (95% CI: 1.6–8.1)1
– WIHS: HR: 1.86 (1.33 - 2.61)2; HOPS: HR: 1.99 (1.01–3.90)3
• However, the mechanisms of this increased risk (impact of
HCV on BMD and bone turnover) is not clearly established.
– It could be related to HCV-induced liver fibrosis
– HCV is associated with higher levels of inflammatory markers (TNF-,
IL-8).4 These could in turn enhance osteoclastogenesis leading to
excessive bone resorption and osteoporosis3

Impact of Severity of Liver Disease
on Fracture Risk in HIV Patients
•US Veterans Cohort: 56,660 HIV patients
(98.1% male; 31.2% HCV co-infected;
mean age: 45.0 years) 1,2
•HCV co-infection remained a strong
independent predictor of osteoporotic
fractures after controlling AST-toplatelet ratio (APRI; HR: 1.32; p=
0.001) or the presence of cirrhosis
(HR: 1.30; CI: 1.09-1.54; p=0.003).

Study design
Prospective, cross-sectional study: 168 males with HIV, HCV,
HIV/HCV co-infection and uninfected.
Included if age ≥ 40; eGFR ≥ 60; no known osteoporosis
All HIV patients were virologically suppressed on HAART;
All HCV patients were HCV treatment-naive
Study measurements:
bone mineral density (BMD) by DXA scan
Bone turnover markers: serum C-telopeptide (CTX), bone-specific
alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and osteocalcin (OC)
Regulatory cytokines: receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B
ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG).
Statistics:
Groups means compared by ANOVA and by ANCOVA adjusting for age,
race and BMI

Bone Turnover Coupling: The
RANK/RANKL/OPG System
• RANK, RANKL, and
OPG are members of
TNF and TNF
receptors
superfamily.
• RANK and RANKL
involved in formation
and activation of
osteoclast
• OPG is decoy
receptor competing
with RANK-RANKL
RANK: receptor activator of NFκB; RANKL: receptor activator of NFκB ligand
OPG: osteoprotegerin

Conclusions
HIV and HCV independently lower BMD and T-scores
(smaller contribution for HCV).
Effect most pronounced in femoral neck and total hip.
No interaction between the two infections.
HIV impact on BMD could be explained by increased
turnover (resorption and formation markers).
See Cotter et al. 7th IAS, MOPE077
Turnover doesn’t appear to be driven by RANK/RANKL/OPG
system
HCV is not associated with increased bone resorption

Increased Bone Turnover in HIV:
Potential Mechanisms
• HIV Infection Itself:
– Dysregulation of Bone Metabolism:
• No changes in the RANKL and OPG
• Gonadal Hormones; PTH and Vitamin D
– Increased Inflammation: TNF-alfa; IL-1, IL-6
• HAART:
– Immune reconstitution?
• VL control associated with lower BMD (El-Maouche. J Hepatol 2011)
– Tenofovir:
• Renal insufficiency with secondary hyperparathyroidism
• Proximal tubular dysfunction? (Hamza, 7th IAS; MOPE076)
Potential Mechanisms for Increased Bone
Turnover in HIV: HAART Impact
TDF/FTC/DRV/r vs RAL/DRV/r
Significant increases in bone formation (P1NP) and resorption (CTx) following
initiation of TDF/FTC + DRV/r vs. RAL + DRV/r.
No difference in changes in inflammatory markers from baseline
