TRPV2-induced Ca²⁺-calcineurin-NFAT signaling regulates differentiation of osteoclast in multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myeloma bone disease (MBD) can cause bone destruction and increase the level of Ca²⁺ concentration in the bone marrow microenvironment by stimulating osteoclastic differentiation. Nevertheless, the relationships between MBD and highly efficient stimuli of Ca²⁺ in multiple myeloma (MM) progression, and possible regulatory mechanisms are poorly defined. Here, we reported that the nonselective cation channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) plays a functional role in Ca²⁺ oscillations and osteoclastogenesis.

Methods

To investigate the expression of TRPV2 in MM, we analyzed publicly available MM data sets and performed immunohistochemistry in MM patients. The correlations between TRPV2 expression levels and osteoclast-related cytokines were analyzed. Fluo-4 staining and ELISA assays were used to assess the regulated function of TRPV2 in intracellular Ca²⁺ and cytokines. Western blotting and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to explore the signaling pathway of TRPV2-induced osteoclastic differentiation. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, ELISA and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were performed to detect the biological effects of TRPV2 inhibitor on osteoclastogenesis.

Results

The functional expression of TRPV2, involved in the osteolysis through gating the calcium influx, was changed in the MM cells cultured in a high Ca²⁺ environment. Mechanistically, TRPV2 modulates nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-dependent osteoclastic differentiation through the Ca²⁺-calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. Of clinical relevance, systemic administration with SKF96365 could attenuate the MM-induced osteoclast formation in vitro.

Conclusions

Our study uncovers the possible roles of TRPV2, which enhances MBD, suggesting that targeting osteocyte-MM cells interactions through blockade of TRPV2 channel may provide a promising treatment strategy in MM.
