Sialylation of TLR2 initiates osteoclast fusion.

ABSTRACT: The molecular control of osteoclast formation is still not clearly elucidated. Here, we show that a process of cell recognition mediated by Siglec15-TLR2 binding is indispensable and occurs prior to cell fusion in RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Siglec15 has been shown to regulate osteoclastic bone resorption. However, the receptor for Siglec15 has not been identified, and the signaling mechanism involving Siglec15 in osteoclast function remains unclear. We found that Siglec15 bound sialylated TLR2 as its receptor and that the binding of sialylated TLR2 to Siglec15 in macrophages committed to the osteoclast-lineage initiated cell fusion for osteoclast formation, in which sialic acid was transferred by the sialyltransferase ST3Gal1. Interestingly, the expression of Siglec15 in macrophages was activated by M-CSF, whereas ST3Gal1 expression was induced by RANKL. Both Siglec15-specific deletion in macrophages and intrafemoral injection of sialidase abrogated cell recognition and reduced subsequent cell fusion for the formation of osteoclasts, resulting in increased bone formation in mice. Thus, our results reveal that cell recognition mediated by the binding of sialylated TLR2 to Siglec15 initiates cell fusion for osteoclast formation.

Project description:The occurrence of autophagy in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cell culture has attracted attention due to its effects on therapeutic protein production. Given the significance of glycosylation in therapeutic proteins, this study examined the effects of autophagy-inhibiting chemicals on sialylation of Fc-fusion glycoproteins in rCHO cells. Three chemical autophagy inhibitors known to inhibit different stages were separately treated with two rCHO cell lines that produce the same Fc-fusion glycoprotein derived from DUKX-B11 and DG44. All autophagy inhibitors significantly decreased the sialylation of Fc-fusion glycoprotein in both cell lines. The decrease in sialylation of Fc-fusion glycoprotein is unlikely to be attributed to the release of intracellular enzymes, given the high cell viability and low activity of extracellular sialidases. Interestingly, the five intracellular nucleotide sugars remained abundant in cells treated with autophagy inhibitors. In the mRNA expression profiles of 27 N-glycosylation-related genes using the NanoString nCounter system, no significant differences in gene expression were noted. With the positive effect of supplementing nucleotide sugar precursors on sialylation, attempts were made to enhance the levels of intracellular nucleotide sugars by supplying these precursors. The addition of nucleotide sugar precursors to cultures treated with inhibitors successfully enhanced the sialylation of Fc-fusion glycoproteins compared to the control culture. This was particularly evident under mild stress conditions and not under relatively severe stress conditions, which were characterized by a high decrease in sialylation. These results suggest that inhibiting autophagy in rCHO cell culture decreases sialylation of Fc-fusion glycoprotein by constraining the availability of intracellular nucleotide sugars. KEY POINTS: • The autophagy inhibition in rCHO cell culture leads to a significant reduction in the sialylation of Fc-fusion glycoprotein. • The pool of five intracellular nucleotide sugars remained highly abundant in cells treated with autophagy inhibitors. • Supplementation of nucleotide sugar precursors effectively restores decreased sialylation, particularly under mild stress conditions but not in relatively severe stress conditions.
