Sitagliptin, An Anti-diabetic Drug, Suppresses Estrogen Deficiency-Induced OsteoporosisIn Vivo and Inhibits RANKL-Induced Osteoclast Formation and Bone Resorption In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a disease characterized by excessive osteoclastic bone resorption. Some anti-diabetic drugs were demonstrated for anti-osteoclastic bone-loss effects. The present study investigated the skeletal effects of chronic administration of sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) inhibitor that is increasingly used for type 2 diabetes treatments, in an estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis and elucidated the associated mechanisms. This study indicated that sitagliptin effectively prevented ovariectomy-induced bone loss and reduced osteoclast numbers in vivo. It was also indicated that sitagliptin suppressed receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption, and F-actin ring formation in a manner of dose-dependence. In addition, sitagliptin significantly reduced the expression of osteoclast-specific markers in mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages, including calcitonin receptor (Calcr), dendrite cell-specific transmembrane protein (Dc-stamp), c-Fos, and nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (Nfatc1). Further study indicated that sitagliptin inhibited osteoclastogenesis by suppressing AKT and ERK signaling pathways, scavenging ROS activity, and suppressing the Ca²⁺ oscillation that consequently affects the expression and/or activity of the osteoclast-specific transcription factors, c-Fos and NFATc1. Collectively, these findings suggest that sitagliptin possesses beneficial effects on bone and the suppression of osteoclast number implies that the effect is exerted directly on osteoclastogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundResolvin E1 (RvE1) derived from the ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid is known to be a potent pro-resolving lipid mediator that prevents chronic inflammation and osteoclastogenesis. We investigated the inhibitory effects of RvE1 on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption to clarify its therapeutic potential for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsReceptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation was assessed with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. RANKL-induced bone resorption was assessed by the measurement of pit formation using calcium phosphate-labeled fluorescent polyanionic molecules in RAW264.7 cells as osteoclast precursors. The effects of RvE1 on the RANKL-induced mRNA expression of osteoclast-specific genes and transcriptional factors such as c-fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) in RAW264.7 cells were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. The distribution of NFATc1 induced by RANKL was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining in RAW264.7 cells. To analyze the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of RvE1 on osteoclastogenesis, we measured IL-17-induced RANKL mRNA expression in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells treated with RvE1 using quantitative real-time PCR and determined the level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsRvE1 significantly suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. RvE1 inhibited the RANKL-induced mRNA expression of osteoclast-specific genes along with the transcription factors NFATc1 and c-fos. Moreover, NFATc1 translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of RAW264.7 cells was suppressed following RvE1 treatment. RvE1 also inhibited IL-17-induced RANKL mRNA expression and PGE2 production in MC3T3-E1 cells.ConclusionRvE1 inhibited osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by suppressing RANKL-induced NFATc1 and c-fos expression in osteoclasts and IL-17-induced RANKL expression through the autocrine action of PGE2 in osteoblasts. Our data suggest RvE1 as a new therapeutic target of RA.
