Sphingosine 1-phosphate as a regulator of osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast-osteoblast coupling.

ABSTRACT: Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), produced by sphingosine kinase (SPHK), acts both by intracellular and extracellular modes. We evaluated the role of SPHK1 and S1P in osteoclastogenesis using bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMM) single and BMM/osteoblast coculture systems. In BMM single cultures, the osteoclastogenic factor receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) upregulated SPHK1 and increased S1P production and secretion. SPHK1 siRNA enhanced and SPHK1 overexpression attenuated osteoclastogenesis via modulation of p38 and ERK activities, and NFATc1 and c-Fos levels. Extracellular S1P had no effect in these cultures. These data suggest that intracellular S1P produced in response to RANKL forms a negative feedback loop in BMM single cultures. In contrast, S1P addition to BMM/osteoblast cocultures greatly increased osteoclastogenesis by increasing RANKL in osteoblasts via cyclooxygenase-2 and PGE(2) regulation. S1P also stimulated osteoblast migration and survival. The RANKL elevation and chemotactic effects were also observed with T cells. These results indicate that secreted S1P attracts and acts on osteoblasts and T cells to augment osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, S1P plays an important role in osteoclastogenesis regulation and in communication between osteoclasts and osteoblasts or T cells.

Project description:Osteoclasts are the only somatic cells with bone-resorbing capacity and, as such, they have a critical role not only in normal bone homeostasis (called 'bone remodelling') but also in the pathogenesis of bone destructive disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. A major focus of research in the field has been on gene regulation by osteoclastogenic cytokines such as receptor activator of NF-kappaB-ligand (RANKL, also known as TNFSF11) and TNF-alpha, both of which have been well documented to contribute to osteoclast terminal differentiation. A crucial process that has been less well studied is the trafficking of osteoclast precursors to and from the bone surface, where they undergo cell fusion to form the fully differentiated multinucleated cells that mediate bone resorption. Here we report that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a lipid mediator enriched in blood, induces chemotaxis and regulates the migration of osteoclast precursors not only in culture but also in vivo, contributing to the dynamic control of bone mineral homeostasis. Cells with the properties of osteoclast precursors express functional S1P(1) receptors and exhibit positive chemotaxis along an S1P gradient in vitro. Intravital two-photon imaging of bone tissues showed that a potent S1P(1) agonist, SEW2871, stimulated motility of osteoclast precursor-containing monocytoid populations in vivo. Osteoclast/monocyte (CD11b, also known as ITGAM) lineage-specific conditional S1P(1) knockout mice showed osteoporotic changes due to increased osteoclast attachment to the bone surface. Furthermore, treatment with the S1P(1) agonist FTY720 relieved ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice by reducing the number of mature osteoclasts attached to the bone surface. Together, these data provide evidence that S1P controls the migratory behaviour of osteoclast precursors, dynamically regulating bone mineral homeostasis, and identifies a critical control point in osteoclastogenesis that may have potential as a therapeutic target.
