KMUP-1 suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss: roles of MAPKs, Akt, NF-κB and calcium/calcineurin/NFATc1 pathways.

ABSTRACT:

Background

KMUP-1 is a xanthine derivative with inhibitory activities on the phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3,4 and 5 isoenzymes to suppress the degradation of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. However, the effects of KMUP-1 on osteoclast differentiation are still unclear. In this study, we investigated whether KMUP-1 inhibits osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL in RAW 264.7 cells and bone loss induced by ovariectomy in mice, and the underlying mechanisms.

Principal findings

In vitro, KMUP-1 inhibited RANKL-induced TRAP activity, the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts and resorption-pit formation. It also inhibited key mediators of osteoclastogenesis including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and HMGB1. In addition, KMUP-1 inhibited RANKL-induced activation of signaling molecules (Akt, MAPKs, calcium and NF-κB), mRNA expression of osteoclastogensis-associated genes (TRAP, MMP-9, Fra-1, and cathepsin K) and transcription factors (c-Fos and NFATc1). Furthermore, most inhibitory effects of KMUP-1 on RANKL-mediated signal activations were reversed by a protein kinase A inhibitor (H89) and a protein kinase G inhibitor (KT5823). In vivo, KMUP-1 prevented loss of bone mineral content, preserved serum alkaline phosphate and reduced serum osteocalcin in ovariectomized mice.

Conclusions

KMUP-1 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and protects against ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. These effects are mediated, at least in part, by cAMP and cGMP pathways. Therefore, KMUP-1 may have a role in pharmacologic therapy of osteoporosis.

Eudebeiolide B Inhibits Osteoclastogenesis and Prevents Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss by Regulating RANKL-Induced NF-κB, c-Fos and Calcium Signaling.

Project description:Eudebeiolide B is a eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoid compound isolated from Salvia plebeia R. Br., and little is known about its biological activity. In this study, we investigated the effects of eudebeiolide B on osteoblast differentiation, receptor activator nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. Eudebeiolide B induced the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and calcium accumulation during MC3T3-E1 osteoblast differentiation. In mouse bone marrow macrophages (BMMs), eudebeiolide B suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of BMMs and bone resorption. Eudebeiolide B downregulated the expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATc1) and c-fos, transcription factors induced by RANKL. Moreover, eudebeiolide B attenuated the RANKL-induced expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes, including cathepsin K (Ctsk), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and dendrocyte expressed seven transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP). Regarding the molecular mechanism, eudebeiolide B inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt and NF-κB p65. In addition, it downregulated the expression of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) and phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) in RANKL-induced calcium signaling. In an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model, intragastric injection of eudebeiolide B prevented OVX-induced bone loss, as shown by bone mineral density and contents, microarchitecture parameters and serum levels of bone turnover markers. Eudebeiolide B not only promoted osteoblast differentiation but inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis through calcium signaling and prevented OVX-induced bone loss. Therefore, eudebeiolide B may be a new therapeutic agent for osteoclast-related diseases, including osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis.

Casticin suppresses RANKL‑induced osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomy‑induced bone loss by regulating the AKT/ERK and NF‑κB signaling pathways.

Project description:Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic disease that chronically endangers public health and is typically characterized by low bone mineral density and marked bone fragility. The excessive bone resorption activity of osteoclasts is a major factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis; therefore, strategies aimed at inhibiting osteoclast activity may prevent bone decline and attenuate the process of osteoporosis. Casticin (Cas), a natural compound, has anti‑inflammatory and antitumor properties. However, the role of Cas in bone metabolism remains largely unclear. The present study found that the receptor activator of nuclear factor‑κΒ (NF‑κB) ligand‑induced osteoclast activation and differentiation were inhibited by Cas. Tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase staining revealed that Cas inhibited osteoclast differentiation, and bone resorption pit assays demonstrated that Cas affected the function of osteoclasts. Cas significantly reduced the expression of osteoclast‑specific genes and related proteins, such as nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 and c‑Fos at the mRNA and protein level in a concentration‑dependent manner. Cas inhibited osteoclast formation by blocking the AKT/ERK and NF‑κB signaling pathways, according to the intracellular signaling analysis. The microcomputed tomography and tissue staining of tibiae from ovariectomized mice revealed that Cas prevented the bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency and reduced osteoclast activity in vivo. Collectively, these findings indicated that Cas may be used to prevent osteoporosis.

Agelasine D suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via down-regulation of c-Fos, NFATc1 and NF-κB.

Project description:In the present study, we investigated the effect of agelasine D (AD) on osteoclastogenesis. Treatment of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) with receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) resulted in a differentiation of BMMs into osteoclasts as evidenced by generation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive, multinucleated cells and formation of pits in calcium phosphate-coated plates. However, RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis was significantly suppressed by AD treatment. We also confirmed the increased mRNA and protein expression of osteoclastic markers, such as TRAP, cathepsin K and matrix metalloproteinase-9, during RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and this was down-regulated by AD treatment. Moreover, AD treatment significantly suppressed RANKL-induced mRNA expression of DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP and cell fusion of TRAP-positive mononuclear osteoclast precursors. In addition, AD suppressed RANKL-induced expression of transcription factors, c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), which are important transcription factors involved in differentiation of BMMs into osteoclasts. Furthermore, RANKL-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) and activation of NF-κB were also inhibited by AD treatment. Collectively, these results suggest that AD inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by down-regulation of multiple signaling pathways involving c-Fos, NFATc1, NF-κB and ERK. Our results also suggest that AD might be a potential therapeutic agent for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Evodiamine inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice.

Project description:Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is a progressive bone disease characterized by the over-production and activation of osteoclasts in elderly women. In our study, we investigated the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of evodiamine (EVO) in vivo and in vitro, as well as the underlying mechanism. By using an in vitro bone marrow macrophage (BMM)-derived osteoclast culture system, we found that EVO inhibited osteoclast formation, hydroxyapatite resorption and receptor activator of NF-?B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast marker gene and protein expression. Mechanistically, we found that EVO inhibited the degradation and RANKL-induced transcriptional activity of I?B?. RANKL-induced Ca2+ oscillations were also abrogated by EVO. In vivo, an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model was established to mimic PMO, and OVX mice received oral administration of either EVO (10 mg/kg) or saline every other day. We found that EVO can attenuate bone loss in OVX mice by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings suggest that EVO suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis through NF-?B and calcium signalling pathways and has potential value as a therapeutic agent for PMO.

Vindoline Inhibits RANKL-Induced Osteoclastogenesis and Prevents Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss in Mice.

Project description:Osteolytic bone diseases, for example postmenopausal osteoporosis, arise from the imbalances between osteoclasts and osteoblasts in the bone remodeling process, whereby osteoclastic bone resorption greatly exceeds osteoblastic bone formation resulting in severe bone loss and deterioration in bone structure and microarchitecture. Therefore, the identification of agents that can inhibit osteoclast formation and/or function for the treatment of osteolytic bone disease has been the focus of bone and orthopedic research. Vindoline (Vin), an indole alkaloid extracted from the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus, has been shown to possess extensive biological and pharmacological benefits, but its effects on bone metabolism remains to be documented. Our study demonstrated for the first time, that Vin could inhibit osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) precursor cells as well as mature osteoclastic bone resorption. We further determined that the underlying molecular mechanism of action of Vin is in part due to its inhibitory effect against the activation of MAPK including p38, JNK, and ERK and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This effect ultimately suppressed the induction of c-Fos and NFATc1, which consequently downregulated the expression of the genes required for osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Consistent with our in vitro findings, in vivo administration of Vin protected mice against ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss and trabecular bone deterioration. These results provided promising evidence for the potential therapeutic application of Vin as a novel treatment option against osteolytic diseases.

Adseverin mediates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by regulating NFATc1.

Project description:Adseverin is a Ca2+-dependent actin filament-severing protein that has been reported to regulate exocytosis via rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton in secretory cells. However, the role of adseverin in bone cells has not yet been well characterized. Here, we investigated the role of adseverin in osteoclastogenesis using primary osteoclast precursor cells. Adseverin expression was upregulated during RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand)-induced osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, genetic silencing of adseverin decreased the number of osteoclasts generated by RANKL. Adseverin knockdown also suppressed the RANKL-mediated induction of nuclear factor of activated T-cell c1 (NFATc1), which is a key transcription factor in osteoclastogenesis. In addition, adseverin knockdown impaired bone resorption and the secretion of bone-degrading enzymes from osteoclasts. These effects were accompanied by decreased NFATc1 expression and the activation of nuclear factor-κB. Collectively, our results indicate that adseverin has a crucial role in osteoclastogenesis by regulating NFATc1.

C-phycocyanin attenuates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vitro through inhibiting ROS levels, NFATc1 and NF-κB activation.

Project description:Excessive bone loss occurs in inflammatory disorders such as periodontitis and osteoporosis. The underlying mechanism is related to the differentiation of macrophages into multinucleated giant osteoclasts and their bone resorptive activity. C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) is a phycobiliprotein extracted from the blue-green algae, which has been shown to have various pharmacological effects. The role of C-PC on bone metabolism needs revelation. In this study, we determined the effectiveness of C-PC as an inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation, activity, and survival in vitro. We found that C-PC strongly inhibited the differentiation of macrophages to TRAP-positive osteoclasts, distinctive osteoclast specific podosomal organization, and dentine matrix resorption without any cytotoxicity. Also, it suppressed the expression of osteoclast specific markers, such as cathepsin K and integrin β3 at mRNA and protein levels. RANKL mediated signaling utilizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the differentiation of osteoclasts. C-PC attenuated RANKL stimulated ROS. Mechanistic studies indicate that C-PC has the potential to reduce osteoclast formation via blocking the degradation of cytosolic IκB-α and hence, the activation of downstream markers such as c-Fos and NFATc1. However, it does not have any effect on osteoblast-mediated bone formation in vitro. Collectively, our data suggest that C-PC may be utilized as a therapeutic agent that can target bone loss mediated by excessive osteoclastic bone resorption without affecting osteoblastic activity in bone.

Fucoidan Prevents RANKL-Stimulated Osteoclastogenesis and LPS-Induced Inflammatory Bone Loss via Regulation of Akt/GSK3?/PTEN/NFATc1 Signaling Pathway and Calcineurin Activity.

Project description:Excessive osteoclast differentiation and/or function plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of bone diseases such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Here, we examined whether fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide present in brown algae, attenuates receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand (RANKL)-stimulated osteoclastogenesis in vitro and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced bone resorption in vivo, and investigated the molecular mechanisms involved. Our results indicated that fucoidan significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation in RANKL-stimulated macrophages and the bone resorbing activity of osteoclasts. The effects of fucoidan may be mediated by regulation of Akt/GSK3?/PTEN signaling and suppression of the increase in intracellular Ca2+ level and calcineurin activity, thereby inhibiting the translocation of nuclear factor-activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) into the nucleus. However, fucoidan-mediated NFATc1 inactivation was greatly reversed by kenpaullone, a GSK3? inhibitor. In addition, using microcomputer tomography (micro-CT) scanning and bone histomorphometry, we found that fucoidan treatment markedly prevented LPS-induced bone erosion in mice. Collectively, we demonstrated that fucoidan was capable of inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and inflammatory bone loss, which may be modulated by regulation of Akt/GSK3?/PTEN/NFATc1 and Ca2+/calcineurin signaling cascades. These findings suggest that fucoidan may be a potential agent for the treatment of osteoclast-related bone diseases.

Parkin Inhibits RANKL-Induced Osteoclastogenesis and Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss.

Project description:Osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures comprise a substantial health and socioeconomic burden. The leading cause of osteoporosis is an imbalance in bone formation and bone resorption caused by hyperactive osteoclasts. Therefore, a new strategy to suppress osteoclastogenesis is needed. Parkin is likely closely associated with bone metabolism, although its role in osteoclastogenesis is unclear. In this study, the Parkin protein inhibited the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation, osteoclast-specific gene expression, F-actin ring formation, and bone resorption pit formation in vitro. Moreover, depletion of Parkin enhanced RANKL-induced osteoclast formation, osteoclast-specific gene expression, F-actin ring formation, and bone resorption pit formation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity was suppressed, while autophagy was upregulated with the presence of the Parkin protein. ROS activity was upregulated and autophagy was decreased due to Parkin knockdown. In addition, intravenous administration of Parkin rescued ovariectomy-induced bone loss and reduced osteoclastogenesis in vivo. Collectively, Parkin has therapeutic potential for diseases associated with overactive osteoclasts.

Icaritin ameliorates RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis.

Project description:A rapidly aging society and longer life expectancy are causing osteoporosis to become a global epidemic. Over the last five decades, a number of drugs aimed at reducing bone resorption or restoring bone mass have been developed, but their efficacy and safety are limited. Icaritin (ICT) is a natural compound extracted from anti-osteoporosis herb Epimedium spp. and has been shown to inhibit osteoclast differentiation. However, the molecular mechanism by which ICT weaken RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation has not been completely investigated. Here, we evaluated the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of ICT in vitro and the potential drug candidate for treating osteoporosis in vivo. In vitro study, ICT was found to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption function via downregulating transcription factors activated T cell cytoplasm 1 (NFATc1) and c-fos, which further downregulate osteoclastogenesis-specific gene. In addition, the enhanced mitochondrial mass and function required for osteoclast differentiation was mitigated by ICT. The histomorphological results from an in vivo study showed that ICT attenuated the bone loss associated with ovariectomy (OVX). Based on these results, we propose ICT as a promising new drug strategy for osteoporosis that inhibits osteoclast differentiation.
