In breast cancer patients affected by bone metastases (HC+ patients and NC+ patients), the levels of all CTX isoforms were elevated compared with healthy postmenopausal controls or with NC- patients.
Assays for the various age-related isoforms of CTX have different sensitivities to identify patients affected by bone metastases.
The relative content of α LCTX is reflected in the CTX ratios, providing an index of bone collagen half-life [ 9 ] . Among the CTX ratios, the α L/α Dratio showed the most pronounced elevation in the metastatic breast cancer patients.
CTX fragments derived from newly synthesised collagen are of the native peptide form ( L-aspartyl peptide [α L]), where the aspartic acid residue (D 1211) is on the L-enantiomeric form and is linked to the glycine residue (G 1212) through a peptide bond.
The ratio between the nonisomerised α Lform and the racemised α Dform of CTX was consequently increased in NC+ patients and in HC+ patients 2.2 and 1.5 times, respectively, when compared with NC- patients, and increased 2.4 and 1.6 times, respectively, compared with postmenopausal patients.
