Crucial Role of Lysine-Specific Histone Demethylase 1 in RANKL-Mediated Osteoclast Differentiation.

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic regulators are involved in osteoclast differentiation. This study proposes that the inhibitors of epigenetic regulators could be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis. This study identified GSK2879552, a lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, as a candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis from epigenetic modulator inhibitors. We investigate the function of LSD1 during RANKL-induced osteoclast formation. LSD1 small-molecule inhibitors effectively inhibit the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. LSD1 gene knockout in macrophage cell line Raw 264.7 also inhibits RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. LSD1-inhibitor-treated primary macrophage cells and LSD1 gene knockout Raw 264.7 cells failed to show actin ring formation. LSD1 inhibitors prevent the expression of RANKL-induced osteoclast-specific genes. They also downregulated the protein expression of osteoclast-related markers in osteoclastogeneses, such as Cathepsin K, c-Src, and NFATc1. Although LSD1 inhibitors were shown to reduce the in vitro demethylation activity of LSD1, they did not modulate the methylation of Histone 3 K4 and K9 during osteoclastogenesis. The ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis model revealed that GSK2879552 slightly restores OVX-induced cortical bone loss. LSD1 can be employed as a positive regulator to promote osteoclast formation. Hence, inhibition of LSD1 activities is a potential target for preventing bone diseases characterized by excessive osteoclast activities.

Project description:ObjectiveHypoxia occurs in tumors, infections, and sites of inflammation, such as in the affected joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It alleviates inflammatory responses and increases bone resorption in inflammatory arthritis by enhancing osteoclastogenesis. The mechanism by which the hypoxia response is linked to osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone resorption is unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether the protein lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) metabolically integrates inflammatory osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in a state of inflammatory arthritis.MethodsLSD1-specific inhibitors and gene silencing with small interfering RNAs were used to inhibit the expression of LSD1 in human osteoclast precursor cells derived from CD14-positive monocytes, with subsequent assessment by RNA-sequencing analysis. In experimental mouse models of arthritis, inflammatory osteolysis, or osteoporosis, features of accelerated bone loss and inflammatory osteolysis were analyzed. Furthermore, in blood samples from patients with RA, cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL) were analyzed for association with the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and associations between HIF-1α allelic variants and extent of bone erosion were evaluated.ResultsIn human osteoclast precursor cells, RANKL induced the expression of LSD1 in a mechanistic target of rapamycin-dependent manner. Expression of LSD1 was higher in synovium from RA patients than in synovium from osteoarthritis patients. Inhibition of LSD1 in human osteoclast precursors suppressed osteoclast differentiation. Results of transcriptome analysis identified several LSD1-mediated hypoxia and cell-cycle pathways as key genetic pathways involved in human osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, HIF-1α protein, which is rapidly degraded by the proteasome in a normoxic environment, was found to be expressed in RANKL-stimulated osteoclast precursor cells. Induction of LSD1 by RANKL stabilized the expression of HIF-1α protein, thereby promoting glycolysis, in conjunction with up-regulation of the transcription factor E2F1. Analyses of cis-eQTL revealed that higher HIF-1α expression was associated with increased bone erosion in patients with RA. Inhibition of LSD1 decreased pathologic bone resorption in mice, both in models of accelerated osteoporosis and models of arthritis and inflammatory osteolysis.ConclusionLSD1 metabolically regulates osteoclastogenesis in an energy-demanding inflammatory environment. These findings provide potential new therapeutic strategies targeting osteoclasts in the management of inflammatory arthritis, including in patients with RA.
