Suppression of osteoclast multinucleation via a posttranscriptional regulation-based spatiotemporally selective delivery system.

ABSTRACT: Redundancy of multinucleated mature osteoclasts, which results from the excessive fusion of mononucleated preosteoclasts (pOCs), leads to osteolytic diseases such as osteoporosis. Unfortunately, the currently available clinical drugs completely inhibit osteoclasts, thus interfering with normal physiological bone turnover. pOC-specific regulation may be more suitable for maintaining bone homeostasis. Here, circBBS9, a previously unidentified circular RNA, was found to exert regulatory effects via the circBBS9/miR-423-3p/Traf6 axis in pOCs. To overcome the long-standing challenge of spatiotemporal RNA delivery to cells, we constructed biomimetic nanoparticles to achieve the pOC-specific targeted delivery of circBBS9. pOC membranes (POCMs) were extracted to camouflage cationic polymer for RNA interference with circBBS9 (POCM-NPs@siRNA/shRNA^circBBS9). POCM-NPs endowed the nanocarriers with improved stability, accurate pOC targeting, fusogenic uptake, and reactive oxygen species-responsive release. In summary, our findings may provide an alternative strategy for multinucleated cell-related diseases that involves restriction of mononucleated cell multinucleation through a spatiotemporally selective delivery system.

Osteoclast Multinucleation: Review of Current Literature.

Project description:Multinucleation is a hallmark of osteoclast maturation. The unique and dynamic multinucleation process not only increases cell size but causes functional alterations through reconstruction of the cytoskeleton, creating the actin ring and ruffled border that enable bone resorption. Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying osteoclast multinucleation has advanced considerably in this century, especially since the identification of DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP as "master fusogens". Regarding the molecules and pathways surrounding these STAMPs, however, only limited progress has been made due to the absence of their ligands. Various molecules and mechanisms other than the STAMPs are involved in osteoclast multinucleation. In addition, several preclinical studies have explored chemicals that may be able to target osteoclast multinucleation, which could enable us to control pathogenic bone metabolism more precisely. In this review, we will focus on recent discoveries regarding the STAMPs and other molecules involved in osteoclast multinucleation.

Osteoclast Fusion: Physiological Regulation of Multinucleation through Heterogeneity-Potential Implications for Drug Sensitivity.

Project description:Classically, osteoclast fusion consists of four basic steps: (1) attraction/migration, (2) recognition, (3) cell-cell adhesion, and (4) membrane fusion. In theory, this sounds like a straightforward simple linear process. However, it is not. Osteoclast fusion has to take place in a well-coordinated manner-something that is not simple. In vivo, the complex regulation of osteoclast formation takes place within the bone marrow-in time and space. The present review will focus on considering osteoclast fusion in the context of physiology and pathology. Special attention is given to: (1) regulation of osteoclast fusion in vivo, (2) heterogeneity of osteoclast fusion partners, (3) regulation of multi-nucleation, (4) implications for physiology and pathology, and (5) implications for drug sensitivity and side effects. The review will emphasize that more attention should be given to the human in vivo reality when interpreting the impact of in vitro and animal studies. This should be done in order to improve our understanding of human physiology and pathology, as well as to improve anti-resorptive treatment and reduce side effects.

Protocadherin-7 contributes to maintenance of bone homeostasis through regulation of osteoclast multinucleation.

Project description:Osteoclasts are hematopoietic-derived cells that resorb bone. They are required to maintain proper bone homeostasis and skeletal strength. Although osteoclast differentiation depends on receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) stimulation, additional molecules further contribute to osteoclast maturation. Here, we demonstrate that protocadherin-7 (Pcdh7) regulates formation of multinucleated osteoclasts and contributes to maintenance of bone homeostasis. We found that Pcdh7 expression is induced by RANKL stimulation, and that RNAi-mediated knockdown of Pcdh7 resulted in impaired formation of osteoclasts. We generated Pcdh7-deficient mice and found increased bone mass due to decreased bone resorption but without any defect in bone formation. Using an in vitro culture system, it was revealed that formation of multinucleated osteoclasts is impaired in Pcdh7-deficient cultures, while no apparent defects were observed in differentiation and function of Pcdh7-deficient osteoblasts. Taken together, these results reveal an osteoclast cell-intrinsic role for Pcdh7 in maintaining bone homeostasis. [BMB Reports 2020; 53(9): 472-477].

Neutralization of Intracellular pH Homeostasis to Inhibit Osteoclasts Based on a Spatiotemporally Selective Delivery System.

Project description:Osteoporosis is a global disease caused by abnormal overactivation of osteoclasts. The acidic environment in sealing zone of osteoclasts with H+ pumped from cytoplasm is critical to the maturation of osteoclasts. Therefore, reducing the intracellular H+ concentration can reduce the H+ secretion of osteoclasts from the source. In our study, we developed a novel nanovesicle which encapsulates Na2HPO4 with a liposome hybridizes with preosteoclast membrane (Na2HPO4@Lipo-pOCm). These nanovesicles release Na2HPO4 into the preosteoclast by targeting preosteoclasts and membrane fusion, reducing the intracellular H+ concentration, and achieve biological cascade regulation of osteoclasts through simple pH regulation. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that these nanovesicles reduce mitochondrial membrane potential by decreasing intracellular H+ concentration, thereby reducing the ROS in osteoclasts as well as the expression of the upstream transcription factor FOXM1 of Acp5. In short, this nanovesicle can significantly inhibit the osteoclasts and ameliorate osteoporosis caused by OVX.

Heterogeneity and Actin Cytoskeleton in Osteoclast and Macrophage Multinucleation.

Project description:Osteoclast signatures are determined by two transcriptional programs, the lineage-determining transcription pathway and the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-dependent differentiation pathways. During differentiation, mononuclear precursors become multinucleated by cell fusion. Recently, live-cell imaging has revealed a high level of heterogeneity in osteoclast multinucleation. This heterogeneity includes the difference in the differentiation states and the mobility of the fusion precursors, as well as the mode of fusion among the fusion precursors with different numbers of nuclei. In particular, fusion partners often form morphologically distinct actin-based linkages that allow two cells to exchange lipids and proteins before membrane fusion. However, the origin of this heterogeneity remains elusive. On the other hand, osteoclast multinucleation is sensitive to the environmental cues. Such cues promote the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, especially the formation and transformation of the podosome, an actin-rich punctate adhesion. This review covers the heterogeneity of osteoclast multinucleation at the pre-fusion stage with reference to the environment-dependent signaling pathway responsible for reorganizing the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, we compare osteoclast multinucleation with macrophage fusion, which results in multinucleated giant macrophages.

Flrt2 is involved in fine-tuning of osteoclast multinucleation.

Project description:Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells derived from myeloid progenitors. Excessive bone resorption by osteoclasts can result in serious clinical outcomes for which better treatment options are needed. Here, we identified fibronectin leucine-rich transmembrane protein 2 (Flrt2), a ligand of the Unc5 receptor family for neurons, as a novel target associated with the late/maturation stage of osteoclast differentiation. Flrt2 expression is induced by stimulation with receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL). Flrt2 deficiency in osteoclasts results in reduced hyper-multinucleation, which could be restored by RNAi-mediated knockdown of Unc5b. Treatment with Netrin1, another ligand of Unc5b which negatively controls osteoclast multinucleation through down regulation of RANKL-induced Rac1 activation, showed no inhibitory effects on Flrt2-deficient cells. In addition, RANKL-induced Rac1 activation was attenuated in Flrt2-deficient cells. Taken together, these results suggest that Flrt2 regulates osteoclast multinucleation by interfering with Netrin 1-Unc5b interaction and may be a suitable therapeutic target for diseases associated with bone remodeling.

A trans-eQTL network regulates osteoclast multinucleation and bone mass.

Project description:Functional characterisation of cell-type-specific regulatory networks is key to establish a causal link between genetic variation and phenotype. The osteoclast offers a unique model for interrogating the contribution of co-regulated genes to in vivo phenotype as its multinucleation and resorption activities determine quantifiable skeletal traits. Here we took advantage of a trans-regulated gene network (MMnet, macrophage multinucleation network) which we found to be significantly enriched for GWAS variants associated with bone-related phenotypes. We found that the network hub gene Bcat1 and seven other co-regulated MMnet genes out of 13, regulate bone function. Specifically, global (Pik3cb-/-, Atp8b2+/-, Igsf8-/-, Eml1-/-, Appl2-/-, Deptor-/-) and myeloid-specific Slc40a1 knockout mice displayed abnormal bone phenotypes. We report opposing effects of MMnet genes on bone mass in mice and osteoclast multinucleation/resorption in humans with strong correlation between the two. These results identify MMnet as a functionally conserved network that regulates osteoclast multinucleation and bone mass.

Dual posttranscriptional regulation via a cofactor-responsive mRNA leader.

Project description:Riboswitches are cis-acting mRNA elements that regulate gene expression in response to ligand binding. Recently, a class of riboswitches was proposed to respond to the molybdenum cofactor (Moco), which serves as a redox center for metabolic enzymes. The 5' leader of the Escherichia coli moaABCDE transcript exemplifies this candidate riboswitch class. This mRNA encodes enzymes for Moco biosynthesis, and moaA expression is feedback inhibited by Moco. Previous RNA-seq analyses showed that moaA mRNA copurified with the RNA binding protein CsrA (carbon storage regulator), suggesting that CsrA binds to this RNA in vivo. Among its global regulatory roles, CsrA represses stationary phase metabolism and activates central carbon metabolism. Here, we used gel mobility shift analysis to determine that CsrA binds specifically and with high affinity to the moaA 5' mRNA leader. Northern blotting and studies with a series of chromosomal lacZ reporter fusions showed that CsrA posttranscriptionally activates moaA expression without altering moaA mRNA levels, indicative of translation control. Deletion analyses, nucleotide replacement studies and footprinting with CsrA-FeBABE identified two sites for CsrA binding. Toeprinting assays suggested that CsrA binding causes changes in moaA RNA structure. We propose that the moaA mRNA leader forms an aptamer, which serves as a target of posttranscriptional regulation by at least two different factors, Moco and the protein CsrA. While we are not aware of similar dual posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms, additional examples are likely to emerge.

Mechanisms involved in suppression of osteoclast supportive activity by transforming growth factor-β1 via the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Project description:Orthodontic treatment requires the regulation of bone remodeling in both compression and tension sides. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is an important coupling factor for bone remodeling. However, the mechanism underlying the TGF-β1-mediated regulation of the osteoclast-supporting activity of osteoblasts and stromal cells remain unclear. The current study investigated the effect of TGF-β1 on receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) expression in stromal cells induced by 1α,25(OH)2D3 (D3) and dexamethasone (Dex). TGF-β1 downregulated the expression of RANKL induced by D3 and Dex in mouse bone marrow stromal lineage, ST2 cells. Co-culture system revealed that TGF-β1 suppressed osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow cell induced by D3 and Dex-activated ST2 cells. The inhibitory effect of TGF-β1 on RANKL expression was recovered by inhibiting the interaction between TGF-β1 and the TGF-β type I/activin receptor or by downregulating of smad2/3 expression. Interestingly, TGF-β1 degraded the retinoid X receptor (RXR)-α protein which forms a complex with vitamin D receptor (VDR) and regulates transcriptional activity of RANKL without affecting nuclear translocation of VDR and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription3 (STAT3). The degradation of RXR-α protein by TGF-β1 was recovered by a ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitor. We also observed that poly-ubiquitination of RXR-α protein was induced by TGF-β1 treatment. These results indicated that TGF-β1 downregulates RANKL expression and the osteoclast-supporting activity of osteoblasts/stromal cells induced by D3 and Dex through the degradation of the RXR-α protein mediated by ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Selective Regulation of MAPK Signaling Mediates RANKL-dependent Osteoclast Differentiation.

Project description:Different stimuli often activate the same intracellular signaling molecules but trigger distinct cell responses. We explored whether or not MAPK signaling induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), which is responsible for osteoclast proliferation, differs from that induced by receptor activator of NF-?B ligand (RANKL), which is essential for inducing osteoclast differentiation. The activation of MAPKs by M-CSF or RANKL differed in terms of the extent and duration of ERK, p38, and JNK phosphorylation as well as the isoform specificity of JNK phosphorylation. In particular, RANKL induced a second wave of MAPK activation coincident with the onset of osteoclast differentiation, whereas M-CSF triggered only a monophasic response. M-CSF was also able to trigger a full MAPK response on restimulation of cells earlier than was RANKL, representing that MAPK resensitization by M-CSF differs from that by RANKL. Furthermore, the adapter protein TRAF6 recruitment to the cytoplasmic tail of RANK in a submembrane compartment is specifically required for RANKL-induced activation of p38 MAPK, expression of osteoclastogenic transcription factors, and osteoclast differentiation, indicating that the switch from proliferation to differentiation in osteoclast precursors is dependent on p38 activation via the RANKL-RANK-TRAF6 axis. Our results suggest that selective control of MAPK signaling induced by M-CSF and by RANKL mediates the proliferation versus differentiation decision in osteoclast precursors.
